"Someone who wants to go back to the good old days, but with that also wants to go back to the times when he himself would not have been possible. He wanted to return to the old standards of decency and neatness, but at the same time he was the most flamboyant poof, with his two lapdogs. He yelled for Moroccans to behave, but meanwhile he wanted to be blown by those same Moroccans. Back to the fifties, but in those same fifties he himself would never have been able to come out for his flamboyant homosexuality. It's just a huge paradox and in a very different, I hope less perverse way, I do recognize it in myself. Rules have to be there, for others."
