“I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he's going to take her when she's going to go with him.

“Well, I don't know anything about television. I'd never done it before. Initially, it was quite daunting to take on so much challenge and so much time with it. I think it is a great outlet for an actress because you really have 13 hours to bring a character to life, which is so much more than with film, and you have the luxury of time to tell a story and to really color a character.” ThinkingKnowsWellsDoneCharacterStoriesFilmHoursChallengesTelevisionColorActressesLuxuryOutlets Author:Diane Kruger
“I don't think my generation carries the weight of World War II anymore. But I've got to tell you, even if we don't really talk about it, we get reminded constantly by other people or other countries. I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn't want to be put into that box.” PeopleThinkingWorldWarCountrySpeakWeekWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War I Author:Diane Kruger
“Brad Pitt seems to have no problem getting parts that he wants, nor does Angelina Jolie. Not that I'm saying I look like either of them, but I just don't think that it has anything to do with that. It's the emotions or characters you are able to take on that will get you work, not necessarily the way you look. Obviously, beauty can open doors - it is Hollywood, after all - but that's not enough.” ThinkingEnoughCharacterProblemEmotionNo Problem Author:Diane Kruger
“Sometimes it takes courage and experience to allow yourself to actually go into being someone that you're not, and it's the most liberating thing to let go.

And sometimes you're really scared of it, and then once you let yourself go there, it's the best thing ever.” ThinkingSometimesActingLetting GoScaredLiberating 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
“Because I worked in fashion, I know that I like fashion. Haute couture is a form of art that I can appreciate.
