Diane Kruger

Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.

When I was younger - it might be a romantic idea - I always thought I might go crazy.

I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.

I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.

I don't want to let my life as a woman pass me by. There's a time to work, there's a time to be young and crazy, and there should be a time to enjoy motherhood. I'm actually looking forward to that.

What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16, was so young and living in this castle that can't leave because of how she looks, and married to a man she hates and three times her age.

I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.

Critics can be harsh and I think it's going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I'm not superficial and that I'm not just a pretty face.

Her beauty didn't do her any good and she couldn't use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time.

In between films I like to travel and hope to visit every continent before I become a mother.

With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.

I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.

I'm not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.

I made a French film called 'Merry Christmas' which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.

It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that.
