Quotes by Diane Kruger

“I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesnt mean being pretty.”

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

Its 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.

Im not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.

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.

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 youre going to be.

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

Her beauty didnt do her any good and she couldnt 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.

Critics can be harsh and I think its 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 Im not superficial and that Im not just a pretty face.

I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesnt mean being pretty.

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 cant leave because of how she looks, and married to a man she hates and three times her age.

I dont want to let my life as a woman pass me by. Theres a time to work, theres a time to be young and crazy, and there should be a time to enjoy motherhood. Im actually looking forward to that.

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

I dont have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. Its not something for me.

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

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