The World Motivation
I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.

I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick.
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they'll run the other way.
When my first film 'The Seventh Continent' was presented here 12 years ago, non-Austrian spectators would come up to me and say, 'Is Austria that terrible?', whereas for me it wasn't about Austria but about highly industrialised cultures everywhere.
We are not against immigration, but we want to have control on immigration. We want to decide who is allowed to come into Austria. We should not let human traffickers decide.
Migrants who set off for Europe don't want to go to Bulgaria or Hungary. They want to go to Germany, Austria, or Sweden.
The crowd in France, and in Europe in general - Italy, Austria - it's crazy, it's electrifying. It makes you want to go out there and do more.
When we talk about racists, first, racists still exist on this earth. They're in Europe and in Austria and Germany where we play, in Italy. I've heard a lot of things and also have my own experience with that. We don't have space for this, especially in football, but also just on the Earth.
