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.

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

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.
