So dachte fütter euch heut mal mit Ralph Zitaten!
Q: "The Schindler's List star was seen enjoying a spot of tonsil-tickling with a mystery lady at a recent premiere." Is that mortifying?
A: No. I had a sense of oncoming panic as you were about to read it, and when you finished it, I thought, that's okay, I can deal with that one. I'm happy that on the whole I choose to be ignorant. Ignorance is bliss.
Das is echt geil ignorance is bliss!
Das is sehr interessant!
Q: I've read accounts of your mother's funeral - about how your family prepared the coffin and the body. You combed her hair, which made It sound incredibly unusual and rather beautiful. Why did you do it that way?
A: The idea of giving her a conventional funeralwith the black hearse and pallbearers was just out of the window immediately. My father, I think, was a prime mover in saying, "We will do it ourselves," which reflected very much their life together.
Q: So you physically buried you mother yourself?
A: We ordered a coffin ourselves. We painted it a strong peacock-blue. She wrote a children's book, not published, where blue was the colour of spiritual strength and peace. Some friends gave us their Volkswagen bus to carry the coffin. So, having put her in the coffin, it was taken to the chapel in this Volkswage bus. We didn't bury her ourselves because the digging of a grave is a highly specialised thing, and how you lower someone in. You have to understand the physics of it.
Q: You later tried to contact her?
A: Um, well, there is a spiritualist centre and we went there to one meeting - my two sisters and my father, the four of us. It wasn't done with the sense of "we're all so distressed." There was a sense of natural curiosity about it, and whether or not it was my mother coming through this medium, I don't know. But I sort of believe it was. She appeared to come through and, in away, that made us feel that wherever she was, she was very happy. I sort of believe that there is a spiritual world. It doesn't just finish. I know that in moments when I've been anxious, I feel that somehow there's a presence or an awareness of her or of what she would have been saying, which has helped me.
