I started acting in Dusseldorf under the direction of Lindtberg, an associate of Erwin Piscator.

To be a Dumont actor was considered to be a great honor for an actor, yet it also had its disadvantages.

I was put in the Air Corps. I was never educated to serve in the military, but soon my activities in the American Air Corps became very interesting to me.

Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him.

Captain Bertrand, the commander of the camp, let us build a little theater and he boroughed from the nearby village some musical instruments, so we started an orchestra.

At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth.

In addition I could feel the growing Anti-Semitism in school as well as among my friends and comrades.

I know several Austrians and Germans who insisted and still insist not to make any contact with their former land of birth.

A Dumont actor was considered to be too stilted - the way we Dumont actors used to speak.
