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.

A well-cut dress is my personal style. I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity.

I'm not one of those women who thinks beauty is a curse.

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

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I never thought I would have an opportunity to act in the United States, and continue to expand my career outside of Europe. To be honest, my reality is bigger than I would have ever dared to dream.

I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.
