I Feel As If Sometimes Women Can't

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

Sometimes You Can Write A Great Scene, But When You're Actually In A Situation And It Doesn't Work, You Have To Be Flexible Enough To Make It Work For You.

Realization That I Couldn't Be A Ballet Dancer Was A Blessing In Disguise Because That Was The First Time I Felt Like I Stepped Into Adulthood. I Realized, Okay, This Is Not Going To Work Out. It Was Frustrating For About A Year Because I Didn't Know What To Do With The Creativity And The Discipline That Dancing Had Instilled In Me From A Very Young Age. But Then I Moved To Paris To Model, And That Was My Cultural Awakening. Now, I Think Dancing Has Been The Biggest Thing In My Life, Much More So Than Modeling, And It Still Helps Me Enormously In My Work.

I Never Thought I Would Have An Opportunity To Act In The United States, And Continue To Expand My Career Outside Of Europe. To Be Honest, My Reality Is Bigger Than I Would Have Ever Dared To Dream.

To Me, Acting Is Very Therapeutic. I Get Out A Lot Of Anger And Frustration. It's Maybe Hard To Believe, But As A Kid I Really Had A Lot Of Self-doubts. My Father Was Very Ill - He Was An Alcoholic - So There Were A Lot Of Things That Built Up For Me. And Because I Was Going To A Catholic School In A Small German Town, A Lot Of It Was Suppressed. I Was Angry And Didn't Know How To Get It Out.
