Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.

The memories of the Munich games for me are of triumph and tragedy.

I liked Germany; I’m not into Berlin, it’s too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.

My stay in Munich was the scene of my complete liberation. Finding the perfect place to stay was a big part of it

There are three orchestras in Munich, all world-quality, in a city of one million. Yet every hall is full.
