I Have A Kind Of Boring Personal Life, To The Paparazzi Anyway, And I Don't Hang With The Cool Crowd.

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.

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.

I Made A French Film Called "merry Christmas" Which Is A Very European Film. It's A World War I Piece.
