Quotes

 * [On the Motorik beat:] "I have never called that beat Motorik myself, ...it was very much a human beat. It's essentially about life, how you have to keep moving, get on and stay in motion. "
 * "...from my point the artist has always got to be like sand in the gearbox, or from my point of view he is not really artist. If too smooth and no problems and everything fine, maybe nice for the media and so on, but I somehow very much like, for instance, Van Gogh behavior."
 * "I think that I could not live somewhere countryside, for example, where Michael lives, somewhere in the middle of nowhere far from water."
 * "I think that [motorik] music is thousands of years old, maybe we just picked that and focused on that and somehow remoulded that, instead of fiddling around with all sorts of stuff."
 * "I always promoted the individual, the original and so on"


 * "I think the most important [songs] happened in the studio."
 * The Independent: "He had a mischievous sense of humour but he did not have much time for critics who referred to his insistent drumming as the motorik beat."
 * Uncut: "Dinger, was immensely warm and unpredictable. He had wild eyes, the hair and beard of Catweazle, and photographs of his girlfriend Sellotaped and pinned to the front of his shirt."
