I find period pieces really difficult to get my head around. How can we know what it must have been like to be in Nazi Germany in 1944? The reality weighs on me because I feel like you want to try and honor what happened, but how can you truly know? I have never lived in a war or lost anyone.
Diane KrugerLooking back at it now, I really feel like it was a gift because I donโt know if I have the talent to become a prima ballerina. Itโs such a hard job to have. I donโt have any regrets about it.
Diane KrugerA well-cut dress is my personal style. I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity.
Diane KrugerI don't want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That's not real life to me. You can't appreciate it.
Diane KrugerRealization that i couldn't be a ballet dancer was a blessing in disguise because that was the first time I felt like I stepped into adulthood. I realized, Okay, this is not going to work out. It was frustrating for about a year because I didn't know what to do with the creativity and the discipline that dancing had instilled in me from a very young age. But then I moved to Paris to model, and that was my cultural awakening. Now, I think dancing has been the biggest thing in my life, much more so than modeling, and it still helps me enormously in my work.
