What do you remember most about your last visit to the city?
One day when we were shooting scenes in the subway, I was starving. We were at Alexander­platz. There was this big, ugly, horrible, International Style building - it was like their version of the Virgin Megastore - and they have every European record you could think of. I went there with this girl from the crew who had, like, a nose ring and bleached-white hair, and she'd been in a band, and she wore really cool clothes. I was like, "I want some German music to take home. It's going to be great." I spent 300 euros or something like that, and I bought all these records. By the time I got back, there was no food left, and then everything was closed. They always outfit me with these bodyguards, and the German bodyguards are my favorites, because they're very polite, nice German guys. I said to them, "I'm starving, and what I really want is sauerkraut, wurst, and a beer," and they went, well, I don't know where they went. They went and brought back fantastic sauerkraut, fantastic beer - and there were potatoes, those funny potatoes they have. There I was, in the subway, wearing my big old coat, sitting on the ground, having my wurst and my beer and my sauerkraut. It was great.
