Family is becoming more and more important to me.

But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned - I mean, there's not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.

Above all, I dislike vulgarity.

I don't have to work just to work anymore. More interesting parts come my way, so I can afford to say, 'I don't want to make that.'

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 want to let my life as a woman pass me by. There's a time to work, there's a time to be young and crazy, and there should be a time to enjoy motherhood. I'm actually looking forward to that.

People should get married at the end of the road, not the beginning.
