Although I went all over the world promoting it, I'd never got to see more than the credits before being whisked away. Finally, at Cannes, I was to sit through the whole thing. When I appeared for the first time, I fainted from the shock - and woke up in the ladies room.
Die Wahrheit ist selten so oder so. Meistens ist sie so und so.
I live in a Swiss village so small, if you sneeze everyone knows.
Ich wohne in einem so kleinen Dorf, wenn du niest wissen das alle.
I thought it'd be easy to get into the movies as Charles Chaplin's daughter. And I suppose it was. Except I wasn't much good as an actress - really terrible at the beginning.
It's the change of rhythm which I think is what keeps me alive. In Spain I hear so much noise from my window that can't stand it. In Switzerland it's the lack of noise that drives me crazy.
Daddy has never seen anything I've done, but he is the best critic I have. He has taught me how to tear down a character. "Slug your guts out" is his philosophy of acting. Never mind the talent, just work hard.
Drugs are marvelous if you want to escape, but reality is so rich, why escape?
I didn't fall in love with acting until I did a few films. Now, I couldn't live without it.
If you make films, you're changing rhythm the whole time. You go from a quiet life to an absolutely turbulent life which is typical of moviemaking. And then you get back to your normal life and you have to have nerves of steel.
I was born in Santa Monica but brought up abroad so I don't use English much.
When I'm depressed and I feel low thinking that good movies are not made any more, then I put on his movies and I watch them. I laugh and I cry and I have great pleasure.

Happy Birthday Louis de Funès!
So mancher ist schon Vater geworden, ohne daß seine Frau etwas davon gemerkt hat.
Lachen ist für die Seele dasselbe wie Sauerstoff für die Lungen.
Verdunkelung ist ein wunderbares Mittel gegen Geschwätzigkeit. Es wirkt bei Papageien; man sollte es auch bei Menschen anwenden.
Frauen mögen Kleinigkeiten, zum Beispiel ein paar haselnussgroße Brillanten.

Happy Birthday Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Als ich nach Amerika kam, gab mir jemand ein Aufputschmittel. Er sagte, es würde mich schärfer machen, und ich würde Gewicht verlieren. Aber meine Muskeln wurden davon weicher. Es war, wie wenn man einen Ständer hat, der nicht hart ist, sondern halb schlapp. Ich mag das nicht.
The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.
Scheitern ist keine Option. Jeder muss erfolgreich sein.
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.
Als ich nach Amerika kam, hörte ich von Steroiden und probierte sie aus. Aber mir wäre es lieber, wenn es damals Dopingkontrollen gegeben hätte. Bodybuilding ist das, was der Name schon sagt: Man macht seinen Körper gesünder und stärker. Drogen bewirken genau das Gegenteil.
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.
Der Geist setzt die Grenzen. Solang man sich im Geiste vorstellen kann, das man etwas tun kann, kann man es auch, solange man zu 100 Prozent daran glaubt.
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
Als Kind haßte ich alles in Österreich: Die klassische Musik und die Museen. Ich haßte diesen alten Scheiß. Alles, was ich als Kind ersehnte, kam aus Amerika.
Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.
Als Kind rannte ich immer mit der Uniform meines Vaters rum.
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
Wenn du hart arbeitest und nach den Regeln spielst, steht dir dieses Land offen. Du kannst alles erreichen.
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.
Amerika und der Rest der Welt wollen sehen, daß Gut über Böse siegt - in Wirklichkeit und auf der Leinwand.
Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.
Als ich hierherkam, besuchte ich erst mal Vorlesungen, Abendkurse in Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Allgemeinbildung und Kunst - insgesamt ging ich sechs Jahre lang auf die Uni. Das gehörte alles zum Hungrigsein dazu.
The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy.
Beim Bodybuilding sah ich, daß Frauen, die den Sport betreiben wollten, wie Menschen zweiter Klasse behandelt wurden. Ich fand das sehr unfair. Deshalb sorgte ich Mitte der siebziger Jahre dafür, daß Frauen beim Bodybuilding mitmachen konnten, obwohl ich persönlich nicht auf Frauen mit großen Muskeln stehe.
In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.
Für mich bedeutet Leben ständig hungrig zu sein. Der Sinn des Lebens ist nicht einfach zu existieren, zu überleben, sondern weiterzukommen, aufzusteigen, etwas zu erreichen, zu erobern.
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
Bodybuilding-Typen, die in winzigen Slips vor 5000 Leuten posieren - das ist doch'n Witz!
It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.
Als ich in die USA kam, dachte ich, ich würde eine Frau heiraten, die sich um mich kümmert und für mich kocht und den Haushalt führt, so wie meine Mutter es tat. Das kannte ich, und zu Hause hat es gut geklappt, deshalb dachte ich, genauso möchte ich es hier haben.
As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.
Ich wusste bereits damals in den 60ern, dass ich ein Gewinner war. Ich wusste, dass ich für große Dinge bestimmt war. Manche Menschen werden bemerken, dass dieses Denken völlig unbescheiden ist. Ich stimme zu. Bescheidenheit ist ein Wort, das in keinster Weise auf mich zutrifft – ich hoffe, das wird auch niemals der Fall sein.
The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.
Als ich jünger war, wollte ich genau das tun, was mein Vater machte - zum Militär gehen oder Polizist werden oder zur Gendarmerie oder so etwas.
What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
Das Schlimmste, das mir passieren kann, ist so zu sein wie alle anderen. Ich hasse das.
I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.
Es ist eine Verpflichtung, daß die Reichen den Armen, die Begünstigten den Benachteiligten helfen.
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Die Produzenten verpflichten mich, weil ich nicht alltäglich aussehe. Wer im Film Heldentaten vollbringt, darf nicht wie eine dünne Ratte aussehen.
I didn't leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country.
Es ist traurig, daß man wegen dieser einen Figur so auf Österreich eingedroschen hat.
Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.
Da ist man jahrelang bemüht, dem Land zu gutem Ansehen und internationaler Geltung zu verhelfen, und dann kommt so ein Kerl daher und macht mit seinen dummen Sprüchen alles zunichte.
Start wide, expand further, and never look back.
Es war eine sehr kleine Welt, und ich hatte große Ziele. Ich lief Phantasien hinterher, statt nur davon zu träumen. Ich realisierte sie.
I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?
Es gab eine Menge Vorurteile. Die Leute in Hollywood hatten viele Gründe dafür, daß ich es nicht schaffen würde: mein Akzent, mein Körper, mein langer Name. Das machte es sehr schwierig - bis ich erkannte, daß man auf dieser Basis hier draußen nicht konkurrieren kann. Man muß sich seine eigene Position schaffen und sich selbst so etablieren, daß niemand mehr eine Konkurrenz ist.
I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.
Die Botschaft lautet: Sei stark und sei schlau und verlaß dich auf dich selbst, um aus der Gefahr herauszukommen und dein eigenes Leben zu retten.
You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.
Es gibt weder sanfte noch aggressive Männer; es kommt immer auf die Umstände an. Beruflich und beim Sport bin ich eher aggressiv als sanft; aber es gibt Augenblicke, in denen kann ich ganz sanft sein.
The writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression - all of that is very important.
Ich bin in die Vereinigten Staaten gekommen, weil das ein Land ohne Sicherheitsnetz ist. Aus demselben Grund habe ich mich für Filme entschieden und nicht für TV-Serien. Ich will nicht immer im Vorhinein wissen, was der nächste Schritt bringt.

Happy Birthday Jean Reno!
I'm a minimalist. I don't really need much to enjoy a good holiday - just my family and the bare essentials.
Ich hatte wilde Zeiten, in denen ich durch die Nächte gezogen und mit schnellen Autos durch die Welt gerast bin. Ich habe den Ruhm genossen. Aber ich habe für dieses Glamourleben bezahlt. Meine erste Frau ließ sich von mir scheiden.
The best way to impress a woman is to be the most honest you can.
Ich habe eigentlich nur ein paar Freunde, im wahren Leben. Und wenn ich sage Freunde, meine ich die Leute, die ich seit 1960 kenne.
The advantage of being eighty years old is that one has had many people to love.
Ich drehe sehr gerne mit den Amerikanern. Die Wohnwagen an den Sets sind einfach viel größer und bequemer. Aber dort leben? Sobald ein Film im Kasten ist, breche ich die Zelte wieder ab.
I'll tell you something that's completely true - you can, as a man, obtain everything you want with the truth. If you lie, first of all you've got to be a very good lying actor, which is tres difficile. And it's going to give you poison inside the body.
Der Vorteil daran 80 zu sein ist das man viele Leute hatte, die man lieben konnte.
But I will say that most comedians are the saddest people I know. That is the biggest paradox to me.
Vom so genannten Star-Dasein nehme ich mir den Aspekt, den ich daran gut finde: Ich kann mir jetzt meine Rollen aussuchen. Und das tue ich auch.
Being proud and being nationalistic are, for me, completely different things.
I can walk into a room and create a good ambience. I was taught all about this back when I studied acting. One of the things they would teach you is how to send out positive signals when you enter a room. I am glad I learned this.
I used to overpack a lot and sometimes even forgot vital pieces of clothing, such as my swimming shorts and sandals. I'm much better now. I only take what I know I'm going to wear or use and always double-check my suitcase so I don't have to rush to the nearest clothing store when I unpack at the hotel.
Actually, I only have a few friends in real life. And when I say friends, I'm referring to those people who I've known since the 1960s.
Everywhere in the world, you find good things.
I don't feel like I have to be nationalistic French because I'm afraid of losing whatever. No, no, no, no. And also I don't think we are the best.
I don't get the romances. I did try - a film called 'Roseanna's Grave' in the 1990s. I liked it. But the audience didn't come.
There is no heaven on Earth. Not now anyway.
I have a strong accent; it limits the roles, of course it does. I guess if I had moved to America a long time ago maybe my accent would have got less.
My plat de resistance is potato salad with garlic and olive oil which we press from the olives from my trees in the grounds of my home near St Remy de Provence. I have four hectares and take the olives down to the local community press at Maussane les Alpilles. I don't produce big quantities; it is just for the family and friends.
When I am up in Paris then the restaurant which has remained my favourite for the past decade is Guy Savoy. The menu is huge, sophisticated and very creative but I keep to simple choices.
'American Graffiti' stayed in my mind, but I don't think to this day I've done a film that captured that same level of melancholy. It was so well done. Talking about it has given me the idea I might try harder to make that melancholy film!
At home I keep things simple with fish, pasta and soups and am often preparing stuff for the family.
If it's a romantic holiday, the only thing I need is my wife. We love quiet and calm places where we can't be disturbed. Neither of us likes being in busy places; we would much rather stay in our hotel room and enjoy each other's company.
I first decided to become an actor at school. A teacher gave us a play to do and that had a major impact. At first, I wanted to work in the theatre, but there was something about the ambience of film, especially American films, that always attracted me.
In France, if you have any sort of talent, you'd better keep it here. And if you're going to go abroad, it had better not be America. The old battle - American versus Frog cinema. It's ridiculous.
Sometimes I take the watch, or I take the shoes, but usually the souvenir is to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew - the camera person, the lighting person. When you finish a film it's like a little death. You had a family for a bit, and you finish the movie and you probably will never see each other again.
I don't think you lose culture because you act different cultures.
Croatia is an amazing place.
I was a banker in Morocco when I first saw 'American Graffiti.' It was before I was an actor, a melancholy time in my life, and this mood was reflected in the film.

Nicht jeder, der seiner Frau einen Nerz verweigert, ist ein Tierschützer.
Noch keiner hat das gerechte Teilen von älteren Geschwistern gelernt.
Wenn eine Frau beim Telefonieren 'Also bis bald' sagt, beginnt die letzte Viertelstunde des Gesprächs.
Das Schwerste an einer Idee ist nicht, sie zu haben, sondern zu erkennen, ob sie gut ist.
Wir Briten haben die englische Sprache erfunden. Die Amerikaner haben sie versaut.
We Britons have invented the English language. The Americans have spoiled them.
Niemand hat so viel gleitende Arbeitszeit wie ein Skilehrer.
Nobody has so much flexible work time like a ski instructor.

Happy Birthday Wil Wheaton!
Some ISPs are blocking all BitTorrent traffic, because BitTorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way. Hollywood lobbying groups are trying to pass laws which would force ISPs to block or degrade BitTorrent traffic, too. Personally, I think this is like closing down freeways because a bank robber could use them to get away.
If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him.
I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.
One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
People who don't want to give a creator money are never going to give a creator money.
I was obsessed with 'Ghostbusters.'
When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.'
I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.
When you get a group of kids together, especially boys, the psychology of those kids requires that they find a weak kid or a sensitive kid or a soft kid.
Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, 'No, I just want to be an actor.'
I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, 'Gosh, do I want to be on a series?'
Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.
I can't believe you said that about fire ants and thunderstorms! You are such a Houstonist!
I have found that the key to being happy — well, one of the keys, anyway — is to be easily amused.
Remember what it was like on Christmas when you woke up before your parents, and had to sit there until they were ready, knowing that just a few rooms away there was something awesome waiting for you? For the next thirty minutes, I felt that way, while I waited for them to call me back up to the set.
Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward.
Lore: Making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!
You can’t has,' he whispered softly, 'not yours.
I wonder if The Lesson is that, in order to succeed, I need to rely upon myself, trust myself, love myself, and not put my happiness and sadness into the hands of others.
Don't be a dick.
Picard only saw the movie, which had the entire Tales of the Black Starship subplot removed for time.
As an adult, getting paid thousands of dollars a week to say, “Aye, Sir. Course laid in” is a seriously sweet gig, but when I was a teenager, it sucked.
Riker tells Data to just get on with it already, so Data says Ferengi are like Yankee traders from 18th-century America. This indicates that, in the 24th century, the traditional practice of using 600-year-old comparisons is still in vogue, like when you’re stuck in traffic on the freeway, and say, “Man, this is just like Vasco de Gama trying to go around the Cape of Good Hope!
Be honest.
Be kind.
Be honorable.
Work hard.
And always be awesome.
Well, I’ve got three things working against me before I even
walk into the room:
1. I’m the last speaker of the day. The fans are tired and a little
burned out.
2. I’m following Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis. They do conventions
together all the time, have a set routine that never
fails, and the fans adore them.
3. I was Wesley Crusher.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be as good an actor as Patrick, as cool as Frakes, and as funny as Brent. From time to time, one of them would say something to me that made me feel like I'd taken a step in that direction, and it always meant the world to me. I loved it when Brent would joke around with me, because it made me feel like I was the peer I so desperately wanted to be, instead of the clueless teenager I knew I was.
Q is like a stupid Internet Troll; he makes some strawman accusation against Picard, Picard refutes his argument with logic and reason, and Q just changes the terms of the argument, all the while enjoying the attention he’s getting. But does anyone create alt.q.die.die.die? No, of course not. Life is so fucking unfair.
Things every person should have:
A nemesis.
An evil twin.
A secret headquarters.
An escape hatch.
A partner in crime.
A secret identity.
Live long and prosper!
If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him.
I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.
One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
People who don't want to give a creator money are never going to give a creator money.
I was obsessed with 'Ghostbusters.'
When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.'
I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.
When you get a group of kids together, especially boys, the psychology of those kids requires that they find a weak kid or a sensitive kid or a soft kid.
Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, 'No, I just want to be an actor.'
I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, 'Gosh, do I want to be on a series?'
Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.
I can't believe you said that about fire ants and thunderstorms! You are such a Houstonist!
I have found that the key to being happy — well, one of the keys, anyway — is to be easily amused.
Remember what it was like on Christmas when you woke up before your parents, and had to sit there until they were ready, knowing that just a few rooms away there was something awesome waiting for you? For the next thirty minutes, I felt that way, while I waited for them to call me back up to the set.
Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward.
Lore: Making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!
You can’t has,' he whispered softly, 'not yours.
I wonder if The Lesson is that, in order to succeed, I need to rely upon myself, trust myself, love myself, and not put my happiness and sadness into the hands of others.
Don't be a dick.
Picard only saw the movie, which had the entire Tales of the Black Starship subplot removed for time.
As an adult, getting paid thousands of dollars a week to say, “Aye, Sir. Course laid in” is a seriously sweet gig, but when I was a teenager, it sucked.
Riker tells Data to just get on with it already, so Data says Ferengi are like Yankee traders from 18th-century America. This indicates that, in the 24th century, the traditional practice of using 600-year-old comparisons is still in vogue, like when you’re stuck in traffic on the freeway, and say, “Man, this is just like Vasco de Gama trying to go around the Cape of Good Hope!
Be honest.
Be kind.
Be honorable.
Work hard.
And always be awesome.
Well, I’ve got three things working against me before I even
walk into the room:
1. I’m the last speaker of the day. The fans are tired and a little
burned out.
2. I’m following Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis. They do conventions
together all the time, have a set routine that never
fails, and the fans adore them.
3. I was Wesley Crusher.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be as good an actor as Patrick, as cool as Frakes, and as funny as Brent. From time to time, one of them would say something to me that made me feel like I'd taken a step in that direction, and it always meant the world to me. I loved it when Brent would joke around with me, because it made me feel like I was the peer I so desperately wanted to be, instead of the clueless teenager I knew I was.

Wer der Jugend Kerzen trägt im frischen Herzen, hat zu tanzen Lust; Amor regt ohn Ende ihm die Füß und Hände und die junge Brust, daß er nimmer still kann stehn und muß wie im Sprunge gehn, muß den Leib den Meereswellen ähnlich stellen.
Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, we will stand by each other, however it blow.
Geduld, Vernunft und Zeit
macht möglich die Unmöglichkeit.
Was kann die Freude machen, die Einsamkeit verhehlt? Das gibt ein doppelt Lachen, was Freunden wird erzählt; der kann sein Leid vergessen, der es von Herzen sagt; der muß sich selbst auffressen, der in geheim sich nagt.
Wer hat sich vorgenommen,
der Heirat zu entkommen,
der siehet würdig nicht
der Sonne güldnes Licht.
In seiner Liebsten Armen entschlafen und erwarmen ist, was in dieser Zeit uns einzig noch erfreut.
Die Red' ist uns gegeben,
Damit wir nicht allein
Vor uns nur sollen leben
Und fern von Leuten sein.
Versöhnter Feindschaft und geflickter Freundschaft
ist wenig zu trauen.
Die Lust hat mich bezwungen,
zu fahren in den Wald,
wo durch der Vögel Zungen
die ganze Luft erschallt.
Ihr strebet nicht nach Schätzen
durch Abgunst Müh und Neid.
Der Wald ist eu’r Ergötzen
die Federn euer Kleid.
Die Welt ist immer so wie du:
Ein Lächeln, und sie lacht dir zu,
ein wenig Trotz, ein wenig Zorn
und statt der Rose blüht der Dorn
Der kann sein Leid vergessen, der es von Herzen sagt.
Ein andrer halt' auf Geld und Gut;
ich liebe Kunst und freien Mut.
Der Mensch hat nichts so eigen, so wohl steht nichts ihm an, als daß er Treu erzeigen und Freundschaft halten kann.

Happy Birthday Margarethe Schreinemakers!
Politiker lade ich nur ein, wenn es um begrenzte Themen geht. Die reden und reden - sagen aber nie was.
Frauen sind immer dann besonders bestraft, wenn sie einen Mann haben, der selber Kind bleiben will.
Erfolg zwingt nicht zum nachdenken.
Dem Menschengeschlecht ist bestimmt, Erleuchtetes zu sehen, nicht das Licht.
Im Fernsehen ist immer etwas ausgeschlossen, und wenn es auch nur der Rechtsweg ist.

Happy Birthday Nana Visitor!
I have deep feelings about Star Trek. I feel that it's able to present archetypes that are important storytelling tools. And we need storytelling.
I would love to have seen a male-female relationship that had nothing to do with falling in love, I'd love to prove, even on TV - even if it's not true! - that men and women can be friends without any kind of involvement.
When asked if she felt Terry Farrell made the right decision by leaving "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Absolutely. Because she was following her own instincts. That can't be wrong and she certainly got a lot more years of experience doing the Ted Danson show "Becker" on CBS. I'll admit that I tried to talk Terry out of it. That I wanted her to stay. But she told me very eloquently that it was what her heart insisted upon. You can't argue with that.
I don't get what my signature is supposed to mean if we haven't had some kind of exchange.
Now I'm going to put my eyelashes on and stretch my legs out and do a show.
The point of writing my name to you is that I see who you are, you see who I am... and that's what it's about.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Die Weisheit eines Menschen mißt man nicht nach seiner Erfahrung, sondern nach seiner Fähigkeit, Erfahrungen zu machen.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
Wir werden nicht durch die Erinnerung an unsere Vergangenheit weise, sondern durch die Verantwortung für unsere Zukunft.
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Meine Art, Witze zu machen ist, die Wahrheit zu sagen. Sie ist der größte Witz der Welt.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
Eine liebende Frau: Eine Sklavin, die Ihrem Herrn die Ketten anlegt.
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
Das einzige, was niemand glauben will, ist die Wahrheit.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Ich zitiere mich gern selbst; es gibt meiner Konversation würze.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
Eines der traurigsten Dinge im Leben ist, dass ein Mensch viele gute Taten tun muss, um zu beweisen, dass er tüchtig ist, aber nur einen Fehler zu begehen braucht, um zu beweisen, dass er nichts taugt.
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
Ein Jahr zählt mit so vielen Tagen, wie man genutzt hat.
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
Die Strafe des Lügners ist nicht, dass ihm niemand mehr glaubt, sondern dass er selbst niemandem mehr glauben kann.
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
Es ist mit dem Zeitsparen wie mit dem Geldsparen. Auf die kleinen Beträge muß man achtgeben, die großen geben auf sich selber acht.
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
Der einzige Mensch, der sich vernünftig benimmt, ist mein Schneider. Er nimmt jedesmal neu Maß, wenn er mich trifft, während alle anderen immer die alten Maßstäbe anlegen in der Meinung, sie passten auch heute noch.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
Ich lerne noch immer in meinem zweiundneunzigsten Jahr.
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
Je mehr ein Mensch sich schämt, desto anständiger ist er.
Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.
Es gibt im Leben zwei Tragödien. Die eine ist, daß man sich einen Herzenswunsch nicht erfüllen kann, die andere, daß man sich seinen Herzenswunsch erfüllt hat.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Was wir brauchen, sind ein paar verrückte Leute; seht euch an, wohin uns die Normalen gebracht haben.
Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
Wenn ein Mensch einen Tiger tötet, spricht man von Sport. Wenn ein Tiger einen Menschen tötet, ist das Grausamkeit.
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
Glück ein Leben lang! Niemand könnte es ertragen, es wäre die Hölle auf Erden!
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.
Hohe Bildung kann man dadurch beweisen, daß man die kompliziertesten Dinge auf einfache Art zu erläutern versteht.
You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?'

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Happy Birthday Mick Jagger!
I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
Bitte, erlauben Sie mir, mich vorzustellen. Ich bin ein Mann von Reichtum und Geschmack.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
Ich hoffe, Bill bleibt den Stones als Bassist erhalten. Falls nicht, werde ich Bass spielen, allzu schwer kann es ja nicht sein.
As long as my face is on page one, I don't care what they say about me on page seventeen.
Das Altwerden wird nicht richtig lustig.
A good thing never ends.
Ich glaube, er hätte wahrscheinlich gern selber diese Ehre erfahren. Es ist wie mit Eiscreme – einer bekommt welche, und dann wollen alle welche. Soweit nichts Neues – Keith mach halt gern Buhei.
People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.
Die Zeit wartet auf keinen, auch nicht auf dich.
You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.
Ich hab Elvis nie getroffen. John Lennon hat mir gesagt, er war so enttäuscht, als er ihn getroffen hat. Da dachte ich, vielleicht lieber nicht.
The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.
Ich war nie der Auffassung, dass man sein Intimleben komplett zu opfern hat.
I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five.
Die Leute denken, dass sie dich kennen. Sie wissen Sachen über dich, die du vergessen hattest.
I got nasty habits; I take tea at three.
Man sollte es mit der Nostalgie nicht übertreiben.
A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day.
Ich muss aufpassen, dass ich nicht in der Vergangenheit stecken bleibe. Deshalb neige ich dazu, meine Lieder zu vergessen.
Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.
Manche Zeitungeschichten sind aufregender als mein wirkliches Leben.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Rock’n’Roll ist nichts weiter als ständig wieder in Umlauf gebrachte Vergangenheit.
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
Wenn das Alter anfängt, dein Leben und deine Beweglichkeit einzuschränken, hört der Spaß allmählich auf.
It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
Ich bin wirklich überrascht, dass der Erfolg, schon so lange anhält. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie lange das noch so geht.
I am conservative with a small 'c.' It's possible to be conservative in fiscal policy, and tolerant on moral issues or questions of freedom of expression.
Früher habe ich mich mit Drogen und anderen schlimmen Sachen vollgepumpt. Heute gehe ich lieber mit einem schönen Mädchen ins Bett.
Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.
Ich habe meine dezente Methoden der Verschleierung, damit man mich nicht erkennt. Da ich ein relativ einmaliges Gesicht habe, könnte ich sonst auch gar nicht auf die Straße gehen.
People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.
Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.
I can't get no satisfaction.
I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.
People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.
I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer.
My secrets must be poetic to be believable.

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.
The hardest period in life is one’s twenties. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous, and you’re physically in peak condition. But it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening.
I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
Fresh from a costume fitting, where I had been posing in front of the mirror assuming what I thought was a strong position - arms folded, butch-looking...you know - I met with the woman in charge of Holloway police station. She gave me the most invaluable advice: never let them see you cry, and never cross your arms. When I asked why, she said 'because it is a defensive action and therefore weak.
There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship.
The years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.
I still have a Gypsy sense of adventure. I don't think I have slept in the same bed for more than three or four months my whole life. I am always planting vegetables that I never get to eat and flowers that I never see flower. I have always moved around the world.
It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.
You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.
Fear can be one of the most destructive emotions. It is, of course, also very important, in that fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. But it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. It can cloud your judgement of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film. There's a philosophy that the Internet should be free, but the reality is that piracy will destroy the film industry and film as an art form because it's expensive to make a movie. Maybe you'll have funky little independent movies, and it'll go back and then start up again some other way.
I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.
I'm under the impression that this notion of decency is disappearing from our society where conflicts are made worse on cinema and on television, where people are nasty and cruel on the Internet and where, in general, everybody seems to be very angry.
There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.
The great marriages are partnerships. It can't be a great marriage without being a partnership.
Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.
People with Parkinson's are not some weird people on the edge of human experience.
I love photography, and I love the art of photography.
I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, 'No.'
Parkinson's is a slow but inevitable process. It's hard living with it on a daily basis. The difficulty facing people with it is that they never quite know 'Can I or can't I do this today?'
When you're young and beautiful, you're paranoid and miserable.
The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn't know which was which.
I don't like the word 'strong,' because a strong character is never an interesting character. A character is made interesting by their vulnerabilities and their weaknesses.
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
It's so hard when you're young to look at older people and understand that they have been where you are. It's the weirdest thing. You just can't get your head around that, can you? You can't get your head around the fact that someone who is 60 was once 16, if you're 16. But the fact is they have been, and they remember it.
People often ask me whether I prefer theater or film, and the answer is that I prefer the one I'm not doing: The grass is always greener.
You can't control how other people see you or think of you. But you have to be comfortable with that.
Where you grew up becomes a big part of who you are for the rest of your life. You can't run away from that. Well, sometimes the running away from it is what makes you who you are.
I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.
Patience can be a good thing - but not necessarily. Sometimes it's not so bad to be impatient. I'm a little bit too polite.
The hardest period in life is one’s twenties. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous, and you’re physically in peak condition. But it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening.
I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
Fresh from a costume fitting, where I had been posing in front of the mirror assuming what I thought was a strong position - arms folded, butch-looking...you know - I met with the woman in charge of Holloway police station. She gave me the most invaluable advice: never let them see you cry, and never cross your arms. When I asked why, she said 'because it is a defensive action and therefore weak.
There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship.
The years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.
I still have a Gypsy sense of adventure. I don't think I have slept in the same bed for more than three or four months my whole life. I am always planting vegetables that I never get to eat and flowers that I never see flower. I have always moved around the world.
It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.
You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.
Fear can be one of the most destructive emotions. It is, of course, also very important, in that fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. But it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. It can cloud your judgement of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film. There's a philosophy that the Internet should be free, but the reality is that piracy will destroy the film industry and film as an art form because it's expensive to make a movie. Maybe you'll have funky little independent movies, and it'll go back and then start up again some other way.
I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.
I'm under the impression that this notion of decency is disappearing from our society where conflicts are made worse on cinema and on television, where people are nasty and cruel on the Internet and where, in general, everybody seems to be very angry.
There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.
The great marriages are partnerships. It can't be a great marriage without being a partnership.
Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.
People with Parkinson's are not some weird people on the edge of human experience.
I love photography, and I love the art of photography.
I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, 'No.'

Wer nicht älter werden will, muss einfach früher sterben.
Sadisten sind Menschen, die sich zuliebe anderen etwas zuleide tun.
Ich will 120 werden - mindestens.
Frauen lassen einen Mann nur deshalb warten, weil sie damit seine Vorfreude vergrößern wollen.
Ich wollte nie unbedingt geheiratet werden. Aber ich wurde gefragt und ich habe Ja gesagt.
Schauspielerinnen sollen Rollen spielen und nicht soviel rumquatschen!
Man muss nicht im Rampenlicht stehen, um Erfolge zu genießen.

Happy Birthday Sandra Bullock!
I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'
Ich möchte nämlich nur einmal heiraten - und das richtig.
I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good.
Ich habe eine Schwäche für rothaarige irische Jungs, wie wir wissen.
There's so many different ways to cheat. People think infidelity is the way to cheat. I think it's sometimes far worse to emotionally cheat on somebody.
Ich wusste früher nicht, dass Hämorridensalbe auch der Schönheitspflege dient. Aber sie hilft wirklich gegen Falten rund um die Augen.
You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family.
Ich habe das Surfen aufgegeben. Die Entwicklung der virtuellen Welt hat mich wirklich erschreckt. Da draußen geht es zu wie im Wilden Westen.
Forensics I've always found absolutely fascinating. Anything to do with clues. And checking things out and solving.
Ich war ein Internet-Junkie, so abhängig - das war beinahe schon mitleiderregend.
Paparazzi need more flattering lenses.
I've been on the floor and I've been heartbroken. I didn't know how I was going to stand up. But I just gave it time.
I don't think we spend enough time in silence, just realizing what's floating around in our noggin.
Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
I don't like guys who will lie down and take it. I want someone who'll fight back. I like people who can argue well.
I'm aware that I can be annoying.
I've made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
I know nothing about love and romance, so I prefer to stick to just comedy.
Lemons clean everything. It's the greatest disinfectant.
I will make myself sick on films, just because you want everything to be right. I can't sleep if something hasn't been done or is out of place.
I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.
I don't like to fly. I've never been a good flyer. I have a lot of friends that have permanent nail marks in their arms... The moaning that comes from me when there is turbulence. It's awkward for everyone around.
I spent so many summers and New Years and fun times in New Orleans. It was always a place where I felt I could go and actually let go and enjoy the spirit of something.

Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women - we're all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn't matter, as long you're funny.
Falling in love-you should go with it, regardless of whether or not your heart gets smashed. You'll be a better person.
The only man who has stolen my heart is my son.
I was a brownie for a day. My mom made me stop. She didn't want me to conform.
There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.
I've made mistakes, and I know why I made them, but I made that choice. Nobody's ever made a choice for me.

Happy Birthday Ina Müller!
Erleben Frauen den Karriereknick nicht eher mit Anfang 30, weil sich dann die Frage stellt: Kinder oder nicht? Wenn sie sich dafür entscheiden, bleibt die Karriere auf der Strecke. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr glücklich über alles, was ich beruflich mache.
Ich quassele los, ohne mich zu kontrollieren.
Gott sei Dank dreht sich bei mir nicht alles um Platzierungen. Ich war nie so ein Popstar, dem die Plattenfirma ständig eintrichtert: „Wir brauchen unbedingt ein Nummer-eins-Album nebst Top-Ten-Hit.“ Für mich zählt vor allem eins: Ich muss selber mit meiner Arbeit glücklich sein.
Ich finde es toll, Lieder über Themen zu singen, zu denen ich wirklich etwas sagen kann. Der Nachteil ist natürlich, dass die Lieder dann immer sehr nah an einem dran sind.
Ehrlich gesagt verstehe ich Frauen nicht, die sich jünger mogeln. Was soll das bringen? Alle denken bloß: Oh Gott, die hätte ich viel älter geschätzt. Es ist doch taktisch klüger, ein paar Jahre zum richtigen Alter dazuzuschummeln. Eigentlich hätte ich mein Album „58“ nennen müssen, dann würde jetzt jeder zu mir sagen: „Du siehst wirklich jünger aus.“

You should make a sad face when you meet a crocodile.
Gubble gubble gubble I'm a mubble in a pubble. I can play I'm anything that's anything. That's MY way.

Happy Birthday Jennifer Lopez!
I don't regret what I've been through. I've had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I've been so blessed that I could never say, 'I wish this didn't happen.' It's part of who I am. There's nothing in my life that's so ugh.
Den Glauben an die Liebe habe ich nie verloren. Liebe ist meine Droge. Ich rauche nicht. Ich trinke nicht. Ich bin nur süchtig nach Liebe.
I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I'm not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person - love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
Als ich Ben Affleck zum ersten Mal sah, wußte ich: Den muß ich heiraten!
You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.
Ich möchte mit oder ohne einen Partner glücklich sein und zuerst durch die Liebe zu mir selbst Erfüllung finden – erst dann kann ich diese mit jemandem teilen. Ich glaube, wir Frauen tun das nicht genug. Wir lieben jemand anderen immer mehr als uns selbst. Ich habe das lange Zeit getan und nicht verstanden, warum das mit der Liebe nicht klappt.
You've got to love yourself first. You've got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.
Es ist nicht mein Stil, hinter Männern herzujagen.
If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.
Ich verstehe auch etwas vom putzen!
I always joke about letting the haters motivate you. Everybody has that in their life, people who doubt them or make them feel less than they are. It just takes faith and belief in yourself, and you've got to dig deep into that. That has to come from you - nobody's going to give you that.
Ich finde, dickere Frauen haben ein Recht auf trendige Klamotten.
People assume I'm out there having this great life, but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life, making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line, you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.
I've always been very girly.
I just think that the whole diva thing is a misrepresentation of who I am.
I seriously feel like the best days are ahead, and I like the idea of getting to do everything I did before but with more knowledge, experience, and street smarts. There's a certain love, appreciation, and gratitude that you have at 40 that you don't have when you're younger, and it makes every accomplishment feel so much better.
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
You mirror what the world mirrors to you.
When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that's what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.
If you don't love yourself, you can't love anybody else. And I think as women we really forget that.
You can't take life for granted.
Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for.
I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. We're loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life.
I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.
Oh my God, my girlfriends are everything to me. They celebrate with you, they cry with you, they hold you when you need to be held. They laugh with you. They're mean with you! They're always there, and it's just a priceless thing to have.
I'm a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love.
I know that being seen as a role model means taking responsibility for all my actions. I am human, and of course, sometimes I make mistakes. But I promise that when I fall, I get back up.
Once you have a lot of success, you become a target in many ways.
It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.
I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice, but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what's right for you.
I can only speak for myself, and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And, hopefully, they'll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day, I just want my work to speak for itself.

Happy Birthday Götz George!
Ich hatte ein sehr gutes, erfülltes Leben, mit allen Ups and Downs, aber ich habe damit gerechnet, dass mir irgendwann was auf den Kopf knallt.
Die Deutschen mögen Helden nicht. Die wollen einen abstürzen sehen.
Ich bin in dieser Stadt geboren, habe hier gelebt, habe mich hier herumgestritten und bin nie fahnenflüchtig geworden.
Meine Triebfeder ist die Angst.
Wenn ich auf die Bühne gehe und kriege einen Preis, habe ich immer das Gefühl, dass ich mich entschuldigen muss.
Im Zeitalter der Fernbedienung und Serien-Berieselung folgt man selbst guten Geschichten nicht mehr bis zum Ende.
Die paar Jahre, die noch bleiben, die muss man schon ein bisschen konzentrierter leben und nicht verplempern.
Ich stehe nach wie vor auf dem Standpunkt, daß der Mann liebesfähiger ist als die Frau.
Wenn mein Vater länger gelebt hätte, wäre ich kein Schauspieler geworden oder ein schlechter.
Also, hier zu bestehen in Deutschland, ist das Aller- Allerschwierigste. Und das habe ich geschafft, heute könnte ich abtreten. Ich habe das Ziel der Klasse erreicht. Das was ich jetzt mache, soll mir Spaß machen.
Seit sie tot ist, bin ich logischerweise schon ein bisschen vereinsamt. Sie sagte immer über sich: "Ich war die Frau von Heinrich George, und jetzt bin ich die Mutter von Schimanski". Mich hat sie erstmal rausgelassen.
Stars gibt es nur in Amerika, Italien, Frankreich, aber nicht in Deutschland.
Liebe im Alter ist ein relativer Begriff wie das Alter selbst.
Er hat mich begleitet und hat mir sehr viel Glück gebracht.
Schimanski ist nicht mein alter ego, auch wenn das viele gerne so sehen. Er war eine Rolle, die ich gerne gespielt habe, die mich geprägt und bekannt gemacht hat, das ja. Aber er war nur eine Rolle.
Bei mir haben die Frauen immer bemängelt, daß ich auch ohne sie auskomme.
Mit dem kleinsten Film habe ich die größte Begeisterung entfacht. Und ich habe wirklich viele große Filme, also Filme mit großem Budget, gemacht. Mit dem kleinsten Film den größten Erfolg zu haben, muss uns Deutsche zum Nachdenken zwingen.
Stars sind Menschen, wegen derer die Leute ins Kino gehen. Wegen mir geht keiner ins Kino.
Frauen möchten bei einem Partner Bruchstellen finden und sich dann unentbehrlich fühlen. Aber da bin ich einfach zu preußisch, diese Stellen vor Frauen offenzulegen.
Manche brauchen Kokain, um ihre Fantasie aufzuladen. Ich brauche Sauerstoff.
Lächerlich. Die Frauen lieben nicht mich, sondern Schimanski.
Wir verblöden in Deutschland. Es ist eigentlich kaum zu glauben, aber die Leute sind scheinbar genauso blöd, wie´s ihnen die Privatsender vormachen.
Ich muss mich nicht volllaufen lassen. Und wenn ich's mache, bin ich immer noch preußisch genug, dass ich hier völlig gerade 'rausgehe.
