I dreamt of becoming a ballet dancer. I studied with the Royal Academy of London for 11 years, and that did not pan out, but my love for being on stage was born there. And then, I actually went to drama school in Paris, France. That's where it first started.

Sometimes you can write a great scene, but when you're actually in a situation and it doesn't work, you have to be flexible enough to make it work for you.

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

I made a French film called "Merry Christmas" which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.

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.

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

I'm not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.
