I Do Watch What I Eat, But

It's Fun Being One Of The Boys. It's Fun To Have A Character That's Rough And Gets Down And Dirty And Not To Be This Precious Girl Who Just Sits In The Corner And Just Sort Of Stands By The Action.

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 Find Period Pieces Really Difficult To Get My Head Around. How Can We Know What It Must Have Been Like To Be In Nazi Germany In 1944? The Reality Weighs On Me Because I Feel Like You Want To Try And Honor What Happened, But How Can You Truly Know? I Have Never Lived In A War Or Lost Anyone.

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.

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.
