I liked Germany; I'm not into Berlin, it's too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.
There are three orchestras in Munich, all world-quality, in a city of one million. Yet every hall is full.
At Munich we sold the Czechs for a few months grace, but the disgrace will last as long as history.
Of course the Munich tragedy was the biggest event in my career and the most terrible.
I got 'Munich' after I had done 'In Treatment' in Israel, which was very successful. But, when I actually shot it, nobody knew it was going to be sold all over the world and be so successful.
Of one thing there is no doubt: if Paris makes demands of the heart, then Munich makes demands of the stomach.
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 subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
As Israel prepares to enter, my position is well known. It is one that I have taken at previous Olympics. It is wrong that the IOC refuses to have a minute's silence for Israeli athletes that were slaughtered in Munich.
The memories of the Munich games for me are of triumph and tragedy.
