“As an actor it gets boring to play always the villain.” — Udo Kier

I remember when I worked with Fassbinder in Germany, actors wrote letters to him. But you see, a director wants to discover you himself. He doesn't want the actor to say, 'oh, I'd love to work with you' - the actor says that to other people, too.

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

When I'm depressed and the weather is bad I look up my page on IMDb and I have my coffee and feel better. There are even films on there I don't know about!
