I don't know how you prepare for something like that. I cannot imagine living in a fishbowl like that. I don't live here so I don't know it will be that bad anyway because I live in Paris and we don't have that sort of phenomenon there. So I don't know, we'll see what happens.
I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.
I really feel like the first day I went to drama school and I went up on stage, that I found my vocation. It's kind of a cliched thing to say but I really feel like it was what I was meant to do.
It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that.
The only song I can sing is 'Lady in Red' so that must tell you how great it must have been.
You always have to challenge yourself or else you get soft. Right?
If you're with someone who makes you happy in your personal life, then you're happy with where you're at.
I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me.
I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don't hang with the cool crowd.
I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.
I do watch what I eat, but not for weight reasons.
I only dance when I go out.
I think commitment is very important, particularly for me.
I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.
I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn't want to be put into that box.
I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.
You know, I might get married at 50 or 60, when it actually means something to say 'for the rest of my life.'
Berlin is still going through a transition since the Cold War - both in what used to be East and West Berlin. I can still sense the confusion and the struggle for identity there in the streets. There's a pulse to it.
Every actor you learn from, take something from everyone - big actor or not. Whether they're big movie stars or not doesn't really matter.
I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'
