With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.

I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.

Family is becoming more and more important to me.

To me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration. It's maybe hard to believe, but as a kid I really had a lot of self-doubts. My father was very ill - he was an alcoholic - so there were a lot of things that built up for me. And because I was going to a Catholic school in a small German town, a lot of it was suppressed. I was angry and didn't know how to get it out.

I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.

Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
