I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn't, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face.

I don't see a film industry in Germany. They have a great TV culture, but how many German films are really exciting?

I've worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that's my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual.

Acting is all about truth and honesty, and the sensitivity that's capable of transporting you.
