I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.
Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
Above all, I dislike vulgarity.
You have to have the passion. I could not live if I wasn't an actor. If you're just in it for beautiful dresses and movie stars, then I think you should not be an actor.
A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.
I realized through my personal travels how little I know about certain conflicts, because I was too vain or self-absorbed to ask the questions. That's been the focus while I'm in my thirties - to become an accomplished woman, rather than some actress.
You can learn any accent you want. It's a fascinating thing.
I dreamt of becoming a ballet dancer. I studied with the Royal Academy of London for 11 years, and that did not pan out, but my love for being on stage was born there. And then, I actually went to drama school in Paris, France. That's where it first started.
I like to stay fit by being generally active.
You should be smart enough to know that you don't know everything. But you have to believe in yourself. I certainly do.
Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.
Well, I don't know anything about television. I'd never done it before. Initially, it was quite daunting to take on so much challenge and so much time with it. I think it is a great outlet for an actress because you really have 13 hours to bring a character to life, which is so much more than with film, and you have the luxury of time to tell a story and to really color a character.
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.
I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.
