Hallo. Sie sehen Interview Project Germany.
Heute treffen wir Glenn Gressmann.
Glenn liebt es, sein Fahrrad zu fahren.
Viel Spaß beim Interview.
Alright, I’m Glenn Peter Gressmann, I’m 46 years old
and I reside in Lübeck, live in Lübeck.
Born 02/02/64 in Lübeck-Travemünde.
Yes, then at the age of three
we moved to a village here, Hamberge. 
My parents, yes, my parents, that’s a story.
But that goes beyond the scope of this now. 
Father had a stroke. The second one already.
Nevertheless they want to celebrate their golden wedding now.
He was a nurse, before that a steel fixer.
And my mother? Yes, what is my mother doing? 
Typical case of a housewife, I think. Yes.
I’m more of a loner. Yes.
Yes, I want to have my peace.
Must have my peace. Want to …
Never mind.
People are strange, presumptuous folks.
The requirements and agendas they have sometimes …
No, strange.
I’m an asshole.
I don’t take anything seriously.
I don’t believe in anything either.
Yes, that’s how it is. I don’t take anything that people tell 
me at face value. I simply don’t believe it.
I don’t know what interests are hiding behind it,
I’m a little suspicious.
But it doesn’t bother any further.
It’s not that I …
No, I don’t believe them. I put no trust in a higher motive,
if I can see a little lower one.
Yes, a lot of things go wrong-headed in my life.
It never goes that straight.
I am always here and there and all.
And it’s time-consuming and tedious sometimes, but it’s ok.
But maybe things could be easier, when you know a little bit what
you want, what you imagine and what you’re working toward.
When I make a plan, I always have to take good care
of things that intervene.
The plan then sinks into oblivion, eventually. Well, that is …
Till something reminds me of it again,
and then we can have another look.
Yes, the most incisive experience in my life
was the birth of my daughter. I was there …
Saw all the blood and all that stuff, umbilical cord got cut
and there she was, a handful of baby. Incredible. 
Then I finally understood what the great fuss between
man and woman is, what it really is, right?
What it’s all leading up to and what it …
Not until then it became clear to me.
Yes, life, the living creature! It’s stunning.
It’s stunning! Better than any shitty skyscraper they put here.
Or any crappy car they sell. Better than everything.
Yes, that’s the way it is.
