I Don't Have To Work Just To

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'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.

It's Fun Being One Of The Boys. It's Fun To Have A Character That's Rough And Gets Down And Dirty And Not To Be This Precious Girl Who Just Sits In The Corner And Just Sort Of Stands By The Action.

The Reason I Stopped Modeling Was Because I Was Not Pleased With Trying To Portray Something That Is Impossible To Reach. Even When I Do Photo Shoots Now For Films, I Am Just Not Interested In Trying To Look My Best All The Time Anymore. That Pursuit Of An Impossible Perfection Seems Ridiculous To Me Now. I Would Rather Show My Vulnerabilities Or My Doubts Than Try To Be Something That No One Is.

I Don't Think My Generation Carries The Weight Of World War Ii Anymore. But I've Got To Tell You, Even If We Don't Really Talk About It, We Get Reminded Constantly By Other People Or Other Countries. 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.
