No matter what happens to me and my career in the future, Berlin is always going to be my hometown.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Berlin is my favourite city.
The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.
And of course I like Berlin a lot. It's such an interesting city.
Berlin is like being abroad in Germany. It's German, but not provincial.
I myself have already spent a third of my life in Germany, first in Cologne and then, since 1994, in Berlin.
To me, Berlin is as much a conceit as a reality. Why? Because the city is forever in the process of becoming, never being, and so lives more powerfully in the imagination.
Berlin is still going through a transition since the Cold War - both in what used to be East and West Berlin. I can still sense the confusion and the struggle for identity there in the streets. There's a pulse to it.
Berlin is in a state of transition. There are lots of people who don't stay here. They pass through. They might not 'clean up,' but they mature. It is a city where people spend a significant time in their lives, and then they move on.
People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.
Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.
