“The reason I stopped modeling was because I wasn't pleased with trying to portray something that is impossible to reach. Even when I do photo shoots now for films, I'm 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'd rather show my vulnerabilities or my doubts than try to be something that no one is.” TryingReasonFilmDoubtImpossiblePerfectionRidiculousVulnerabilityNot InterestedModeling Author:Diane Kruger
“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.” ThinkingHelpingAgeCreativityDisciplineBlessingFirst TimeOkayMovedDancingWork OutAwakeningI RealizedRealizationDancerHelp MeBalletAdulthoodDisguiseGoing To WorkFrustratingModelingBallet Dancer Author:Diane Kruger
