“I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seem...” — Diane Kruger Quote

“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.”

“When I turned 30, I realized how ignorant I really was. I always thought I had a very accomplished life.”

“I see myself raising my children in Europe, probably in Paris.”

“I feel an image is a creeping jail growing all around you without you even realising it. Suddenly, you are trapped, and an actor should never be trapped.”

“For me it would be unhealthy to be a method actor; I'm not mentally stable enough for that - I need to separate my two worlds.”

“As an actor, your focus is very finite. All you're worried about is your character and what you have to do, what your goals are in this scene and in this piece of material. Whereas, as the director, everything is your responsibility. I enjoy carrying the load like that and being the responsible party.”
