On working with director Werner Herzog: I have to shoot without any breaks. I yell at Herzog and hit him. I have to fight for every sequence. I wish Herzog would catch the plague.

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

I sell myself for the highest price. Exactly like a prostitute. There is no difference.

Why have I had this life? If I knew, I wouldn't have done it

I make movies for money, exclusively for money.

Why do I continue making movies? Making movies is better than cleaning toilets.

I wish I'd never been an actor. I'd rather have been a streetwalker, selling my body, than selling my tears and my laughter, my grief and my joy.
