It must be hard interviewing actors.

Germans don't speak in a German accent, they just speak German.

I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.

Periodically over the years I've always taken periods of time away from acting.

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.
