Diane Kruger

But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned - I mean, there's not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.

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

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

I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.

I like to stay fit by being generally active.

Orlando's a really cool guy. They hired him for 'Lord of the Rings' out of drama school. He's very new at this still and doesn't have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we've tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.

When I turned 30, I realized how ignorant I really was. I always thought I had a very accomplished life.

I don't want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That's not real life to me. You can't appreciate it.

You know, I might get married at 50 or 60, when it actually means something to say 'for the rest of my life.'

It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.

I don't know how you prepare for something like that. I cannot imagine living in a fishbowl like that. I don't live here so I don't know it will be that bad anyway because I live in Paris and we don't have that sort of phenomenon there. So I don't know, we'll see what happens.

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.
