I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.

Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.

Acting has always been such escapism for me.

It's lovely to work with a group of actors who make you laugh and smile.

When it comes to my work, I'm fearless. I go with my gut.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

I'd love to work on a real girl piece with some fabulous actresses. I feel like I've worked with so many men.

I don't want to be doing fashion shoots and being interviewed about where I shop. Who cares?

I think when you're an actor and you're drawing on your emotions all the time, you need to be quite steady.

The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.

I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.

You're not aloneTogether we standI'll be by your side, you know I'll take your handWhen it gets coldAnd it feels like the endThere's no place to goYou know I won't give in

The creation of art requires descent into the dark.

God made the country and man made the town.

Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.

Surfer girls rip and they are hot

the strongest will is the will that knows how to bend.

Not having a passport makes me very blasé about what appears in foreign periodicals since I know I'll never see it.

Greek dress was in its essence inartistic. Nothing should reveal the body but the body.

Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.

When you're president, you learn to act like you know what you're talking about. And it's a great skill.
