I Do Watch What I Eat, But

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 Come From A Very Small Rural Village In Northern Germany, And Being An Actor Never Even Seemed Like A Possibility. I Thought You Would Have To Live In A Big City, Or Be Discovered Somewhere, Or Be Born Into An Artistic Family, Which I Certainly Wasn't.

I Didn't Grow Up Watching A Lot Of Tv.

I Really Feel Like The First Day I Went To Drama School And I Went Up On Stage, That I Found My Vocation. It's Kind Of A Cliched Thing To Say But I Really Feel Like It Was What I Was Meant To Do.

Being German, I Think We Don't Really Express A Lot Of Things.
