When you are in a relationship, you want the other person to appreciate the things you like. It sounds superficial, but it's nice.
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.
I don't want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That's not real life to me. You can't appreciate it.
It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.
A well-cut dress is my personal style. I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity.
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.
With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.
People always think I’m dainty when they meet me, but I’m really not. I’m very German – we’re not made out of sugar.
Hopefully, every character that I take on, as I grow older, becomes more interesting. Obviously, as I grow older, I have more to bring to the table and more experiences that I've lived myself, so I'm hoping that I can color my characters, more and more.
I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay.
The reason I stopped modeling was because I was not pleased with trying to portray something that is impossible to reach. Even when I do photo shoots now for films, I am just not interested in trying to look my best all the time anymore. That pursuit of an impossible perfection seems ridiculous to me now. I would rather show my vulnerabilities or my doubts than try to be something that no one is.
I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.
I truly, genuinely like clothes. Making them is an art form, and wearing them is a form of self-expression. I find it very emotional because I can remember moments in my life - my mood, how I felt - through these clothes.
What you wear is such an expression of who you are. That's like someone picking out who I'm going to date!
