I'm a totally desert person.

I'm scared of high buildings.

I'm an aesthetic person who loves beauty.

In my real life I'm a very normal person.

I tried all my life to be a normal person.

If I hadn't been an actor, I'd be a gardener.

I don't wear gloves when I work in the garden.

Normally, I like my privacy in the high desert.

I like special directors, and I've collected a few.

When you get older time moves faster - much faster.

It is fun to play evil parts... especially vampires.

I like the vampire films because of the fantasy of it.

The villain is the character that the people remember.

As an actor it gets boring to play always the villain.

I always wanted to make music but I cannot play any instrument.

My great joy these days is giving palm trees water. Simple as that.

Nobody of us has ever seen ourselves! We see a reflection in the mirror.

I was brought up in Germany, born in 1944, and there was nothing to eat.

The best compliment for a director is that an audience hates their films.

Good movies are difficult to make, and good trash is even harder to make.

Audition is the worst thing. It's like cleaning furniture in a department store.

If you make horror movies, you always have to think what's photogenic and what's not.

If David Lynch wants me to audition I will do it. But a young filmmaker, no. I won't.

Sometimes, you can also have a big impact in a film just by doing something unexpected.

Rob Zombie's very intellectual-crazy, and I like people like that. No stupid craziness.

I like Palm Springs because of the sunshine. It's a little city surrounded by mountains.

Warhol took outcasts and made them into stars. There will never be another artist like him.

I never wanted to be an actor. I just wanted to learn languages and travel and see the world.

I tried all my life to be a normal person. Stars are in the sky. I like cooking and gardening.

If you have a smaller role, but if you work with a great director, they make it unforgettable.

I don't mind playing Nazis, but I'll only play them in comedies. I wouldn't play a serious Nazi.

I've done more than 65 films. I don't count them anymore. The first 10 you count and then you stop.

I like Prague, it's strange. All the houses you see look like Disney sets, with their bright colours.

I collect furniture and modern art. And I never go to any parties. I rather prefer to go around in nature.

I like to have the newest thing. I like the Internet, they know more about me than I do, which is amazing.

I was fascinated by the story of FW Murnau, one of the most famous directors in Germany, where I come from.

I collect chairs and lights, which obviously means I want to sit in the light - not surprising for an actor I suppose.

I have a ranch and when I sit there and see a little lizard and birds, I really love what I see and I'm love with nature.

You know, I don't want to waste my time by being in a movie where nobody remembers my part. That's not interesting at all!

The good thing about films is, you never know how good they will be. If there was a formula, there would only be good films!

Until I was 16 or 17, we had no water. My mother had to cook water in a kettle, and once a week I was bathed, and that was it.

My dream would be to play the villain in a James Bond movie, or opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. I like everything exaggerated.

I was in 'Iron Sky,' the first one, and I liked it very much. I liked the technology being used. The technology has such power.

I want to have fun. Big Hollywood films can be fun, but you know it's an industry, and if you don't function, they send you home.

I have few friends. I can count them on one hand. I go by myself to the cleaners and the supermarket and I live alone with my dogs.

There are a few directors - quite a few - who I would like to work with, but I have never written a letter to a director in my life.

I get nervous when I'm sitting in an airplane at 10,000 feet and then the sign comes on: 'Please fasten your seatbelt for turbulence.'

Lars von Trier, Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog: They all write, which is much better because it's their baby, and they know what they want.

I bought a former library, not because I have a lot of books, but also I like architecture, and it was built in 1965, and I like gardening.

I like to go from film to film, meeting new people and playing new roles. Because actors are like children: They want to play, and I like to play.
