I don't think my generation carries the weight of World War II anymore. But I've got to tell you, even if we don't really talk about it, we get reminded constantly by other people or other countries. 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 don’t know how you prepare for something like that. I cannot imagine living in a fishbowl like that. I don’t live here so I don’t know it will be that bad anyway because I live in Paris and we don’t have that sort of phenomenon there. So I don’t know, we’ll see what happens.

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

I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.

I consider myself a 'local' actor in France. I started out in France, I went to drama school in France and the French film community was very welcoming to me when I was a young actress.

What you wear is such an expression of who you are. That's like someone picking out who I'm going to date!

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