I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.
You should be smart enough to know that you don't know everything. But you have to believe in yourself. I certainly do.
I'm not one of those women who thinks beauty is a curse.
I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay.
Above all, I dislike vulgarity.
What you wear is such an expression of who you are. That's like someone picking out who I'm going to date!
It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.
Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.
I don't know about style. I know about my personal style.
I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.
When you are in a relationship, you want the other person to appreciate the things you like. It sounds superficial, but it's nice.
I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.
I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.
In Paris, I rent a bike in the street and cycle around, and in L.A. I live up in the hills so I go hiking a lot.
My sport is biking. I'm not much of a gym person, but I like being outside - hiking, canoeing, camping.
I'm not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.
I don't want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That's not real life to me. You can't appreciate it.
I only dance when I go out.
I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.
I made a French film called "Merry Christmas" which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.
The only song I can sing is “Lady in Red” so that must tell you how great it must have been.
I like to stay fit by being generally active.
You can learn any accent you want. It's a fascinating thing.
I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don't hang with the cool crowd.
I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.
Modeling is so... not superficial. Well, I guess it is. But it's boring.
Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
I'm intrigued more and more by complex female characters because I'm more in touch with myself. I realize how screwed up or complex I am. And I'm flattered that, little by little, more and more directors want to meet me.
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.
Looking back at it now, I really feel like it was a gift because I don’t know if I have the talent to become a prima ballerina. It’s such a hard job to have. I don’t have any regrets about it.
I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.
A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.
The ultimate art form of fashion is couture. I completely geek out when it comes to couture. It shows fashion as it used to be. I don't know how many people can actually afford the clothes, but in a way, that's beside the point.
