- [2004] Nowadays, I think, life is actually more difficult for boys. Boys always have to worry about having to live up to a certain image, which they think is what girls are looking for in boys. It's easier for us [females]. We can simply choose the role we want to play. [asked about her own role] I don't know, but it is definitely some kind of girl role. I am not a woman. Women are mothers, women bear responsibility. [...] Actually, I am a mixture. A mixture between girl and woman. No idea what you could most appropriately call that.
- [2004] I can remember that time [the 90s] very well. I was 15, a serious girl, overweight, melancholic, I preferred reading to going out, kissing boys, feeling immortal. I envied these "Girlies" [third wave feminists] like hell. Because of their naive approach with which they enchanted the boys. I always tried to tell myself that intellectually, they have absolutely nothing to offer, but secretly I told myself regarding each of these girls: My God, she is like a deer. Back then, I thought Heike Makatsch was a pinhead. I didn't know what to make of the girls in my class who wanted to be like the Girlies. At one point, though I didn't adopt their fashion, I adopted their attitude, which was mostly this brazenness. I started using men's perfume exclusively, back then Davidoff Cool Water, today 1881 by Cerruti. I always thought this fruity note in women's perfumes was disgusting. I started rolling my own cigarettes, I became part of the pupil management. I adopted the Girlies' self-confidence, not their style. Nowadays, 15 year old Eva would get on my nerves terribly.
