Johannes Heesters

“My secret to a long, healthy life is to always keep working. It keeps me busy and happy and gives me a reason to stay alive.”

“To have nothing to do, to sit there waiting for little aches and pains, is fundamentally wrong. Life has to be lived.”

“Politics is dirty, and I don't like to talk about dirty things... My conscience is clear.”

“Sure, I acted in films in the Third Reich, entertainment films, which distracted countless people inside and outside Germany from daily life during war.”
