I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'

I feel vulnerable sometimes - when I see an emotional scene, for example - and I remember what it took to get to that place, and I fear sometimes that everybody else can see that. You bare a part of you that makes you uncomfortable. I freely give it, I know, but I feel like people know something about me that I wouldn't otherwise give freely to a stranger.

Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.

I truly, genuinely like clothes. Making them is an art form, and wearing them is a form of self-expression. I find it very emotional because I can remember moments in my life - my mood, how I felt - through these clothes.

People always think I’m dainty when they meet me, but I’m really not. I’m very German – we’re not made out of sugar.

I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.

I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn't want to be put into that box.
