I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he's going to take her when she's going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles.
I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seemed a little bit mysterious because you couldn't grasp what they're really thinking. I mean, Grace Kelly always looked impossibly glamorous, yet you could always see there was something behind her eyes.
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'm not one of those women who thinks beauty is a curse.
I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'
Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
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 know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.
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.
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.
I do give myself a break in my personal life but I think in work, if you don't push yourself you get bored and want to do something else.
I've worked with actors who were very helpful and a lot better than I was.
I see myself raising my children in Europe, probably in Paris.
The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing.
