Berlin Quotations | Page 2

The Berlin Defence suited my strategy for the match. I had a defensive strategy - Actually, I had in my pocket some other sharper stuff to fall back on - but first I wanted to try the defensive strategy with Black and it worked so well.

I hear it said that West Berlin is militarily untenable - and so was Bastogne, and so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any danger spot is tenable if men - brave men - will make it so.

Berlin would be a great place to have no cell phone, I think. Especially if you were able to live in a central location.

Berlin played a great game on defense and we just couldn't get it done.

I create my own lyrics. I have a great band. I have a drummer from East Berlin.

I'm from East Berlin. I grew up in the Bertold Brecht, Kurt Weil tradition, also in the old hippie tradition.

Berlin is the testicles of the West, every time I want the West to scream, I squeeze on Berlin.

Well, they didn't lack for topics after Hiroshima. Why should 9/11 slow them down? I know it got a lot of press, but it's just a few large buildings and aircraft, it's not like D-Day and the Seige of Berlin.

For any film -- whether Iranian or not -- a podium like Berlin obviously is beautiful. Because it helps art exist. If you work in art house cinema, how else are you going to get people to find out about it? How else are you going to give that podium for smaller distributors to be helped and they release it. So it's a question to tell the world that the film exists.
