I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.

I don't know about style. I know about my personal style.

What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because, as long as you have been in a movie that has made money, you will always get another job.

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.

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

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.

You should be smart enough to know that you don't know everything. But you have to believe in yourself. I certainly do.
