All quotes by Diane Kruger:

I never thought I would have an opportunity to act in the United States, and continue to expand my career outside of Europe. To be honest, my reality is bigger than I would have ever dared to dream.

The only song I can sing is “Lady in Red” so that must tell you how great it must have been.

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

I'm European, small, dainty - but I actually consider myself more of a tomboy.

I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'

I don't have to work just to work anymore. More interesting parts come my way, so I can afford to say, 'I don't want to make that.'

It's fun being one of the boys. It's fun to have a character that's rough and gets down and dirty and not to be this precious girl who just sits in the corner and just sort of stands by the action.

I do watch what I eat, but not for weight reasons.

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.

People should get married at the end of the road, not the beginning.
