Modeling is so... not superficial. Well, I guess it is. But it's boring.

If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.

I don't always like my own behavior. I haven't known anyone who is perfect all the time.

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.

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.

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.

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 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.

Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.

I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.

I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don't hang with the cool crowd.

You can learn any accent you want. It's a fascinating thing.

I like to stay fit by being generally active.

The only song I can sing is “Lady in Red” so that must tell you how great it must have been.

I made a French film called "Merry Christmas" which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.

I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.

I only dance when I go out.

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.
