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.
With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you’re going to be.
Her beauty didn’t do her any good and she couldn’t use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time.
It’s taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I’ll ever play.
Hopefully, every character that I take on, as I grow older, becomes more interesting. Obviously, as I grow older, I have more to bring to the table and more experiences that I’ve lived myself, so I’m hoping that I can color my characters, more and more.
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 love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.
My sport is biking. I’m not much of a gym person, but I like being outside – hiking, canoeing, camping.
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.
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.
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 only dance when I go out.
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 would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn’t mean being pretty.
I know a lot of people think, ‘She’s so glamorous.’ But that’s really not me at all.
I have three goddaughters – I’m not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children – but I try.
I’m European, small, dainty – but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.
The real challenge is to give a really nuanced performance and really push myself, to make sure that we see a very complete picture of a woman living with Asperger’s. Of course, I’m always intrigued. I learn so much from the show about storylines that actually happen on the border.
I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don’t hang with the cool crowd.
I feel as if sometimes women can’t deal with what’s going on and they have no one around who actually understands.
