The occasion was an interview with the Stuttgarter Zeitung , in which he described how exhausting it is to work with children in front of the camera - especially for them it is a “torment”. He takes young people as they are: “Sure, children are annoying and sticky, so what? They know that themselves. ”The ironic undertone was suppressed in the following reports; the interviewer Kai Biermann described the interpretation by other media as "twisted" and "bent".
