"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." - Diane Kruger
"Eric Bana's a great actor. I saw the movie yesterday and was blown away. I thought he was incredible and he's a very normal guy too. He always travels with his wife and children. It's very refreshing to see and he's very committed. I really felt he was terrific in the movie." - Diane Kruger
"He just took me aside and actually said, "This is the first time I'm doing this." I don't think we looked at each other in the eyes for a week or so because we were so embarrassed by it." - Diane Kruger
"Her beauty didn't do her any good and she couldn't use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time." - Diane Kruger
"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." - Diane Kruger
"I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with." - Diane Kruger
"I made a French film called "Merry Christmas" which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece." - Diane Kruger
"I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington." - Diane Kruger
"I really feel like the first day I went to drama school and I went up on stage, that I found my vocation. It's kind of a cliched thing to say but I really feel like it was what I was meant to do." - Diane Kruger
"I really want to work with Paul Thomas Anderson. He's my favourite filmmaker. Steven Spielberg obviously, Soderbergh for sure." - Diane Kruger
"I started modelling there. They brought me over from Germany to model. I love Paris. I love the language, I love French movies." - Diane Kruger
"I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he's going to take her when she's going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles." - Diane Kruger
"I was gaining weight for the part and he had flown in to see me. I remember coming home and I was like, "Sweetie, I'm home." He looked at me and said, "Oh my god, you have to stop gaining weight. You're getting a double chin." That was the first thing he said! I hadn't seen him in four months." - Diane Kruger
"I was much more concerned to look beyond that and make her more youthful, vulnerable, and show how sad she must have been from stories. So tragic." - Diane Kruger
"I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty." - Diane Kruger
"I'm a very serious woman, sort of stuck-up. Nic Cage plays a treasure hunter. He believes there is a hidden map on the back of the Declaration of Independence." - Diane Kruger
"It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don't think the movie would work otherwise." - Diane Kruger
"It's a lot of pressure. I feel like people are either going to go, "Yeah, I can relate to her face," or they'll be like, "What were they thinking?"" - Diane Kruger
"It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that." - Diane Kruger
"Looking back at it now, I really feel like it was a gift because I don't know if I have the talent to become a prima ballerina. It's such a hard job to have. I don't have any regrets about it." - Diane Kruger
"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." - Diane Kruger
"The only song I can sing is "Lady in Red" so that must tell you how great it must have been." - Diane Kruger
"The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing." - Diane Kruger
"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." - Diane Kruger
