I like Germany so much that I want there to be two of them.
A tongue-in-cheek statement made during German reunification debates reflecting his distrust of Germany.
I figured, correctly, that Berlin in February was not a destination coveted by tourists. I found good airfares on Lufthansa, an airline I quite like, and got a great rate at a brand new Ritz-Carlton, which clearly hoped to seduce visitors into forsaking Hawaii for Potsdammer Platz.
I really liked German food. And it's very clean.. It's a very clean country. They kind of get rid of the waste really well... the garbage.
Germany's fascinating. It's a really rich landscape to film and dramatise.
In Germany, salads are assemblies of ham and mayonnaise, not trendy tossed leaves.
In Germany I already know everything, I know every stadium.
The one thing I could do with my eyes closed is my Grandma's schnecken.
I'd say I'm a good cook. I have a lot of German recipes that I can make - schnitzel, meatballs and things with cabbage. I love cabbage.
German? I don't know what that means ... we don't say that in America.
Always wanted to go to Germany... probably one of my top ten.
Frenchman: Germans with good food.
I love Germany so dearly that I hope there will always be two of them.
Because of their cuisine, Germans don't consider farting rude. They'd certainly be out of luck if they did.
Think of the man who first tried German sausage.
When I started working in film, I loved photography, I loved the image, I loved telling the story within a frame, but as I started playing around with film and video, it was like, 'Oh my god.' You just have so much more to play with.
When you look at our programme for the next few weeks, you do not fancy a trip to the Oktoberfest.
I really enjoyed my time in Germany but didn't actually win anything.
Angel: What's sauerkraut? Max: You don't want it. Trust me.
The magic word for me is pumpernickel. I love pumpernickel. I must have some Russian blood in me because I could just eat pumpernickel and raw onions.
I cooked for the two Popes that were here. Pope Francis I cooked for and Pope Benedict before him. Pope Benedict is German. And I did a little research - his mother was a chef.
I lived with a German family. I learned about schnitzel from Ritta Seiffer. When she cooked she'd get the oil really hot so that it sealed everything and in the middle was very juicy. That's the secret to a great schnitzel.
I love the Germans and they love me.
The earliest recollection I have of being in the kitchen and cooking was in the third grade, and we lived in Germany. And I remember cooking scrambled eggs.
I remember the first day getting to Hoffenheim. Minus 20! The weather was different; the food was different. It was cold, and I found it difficult, but I am not someone who gives up.
The German asparagus are fabulous.
