100 Quotes by Udo Kier

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!

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 collect chairs and lights, which obviously means I want to sit in the light - not surprising for an actor I suppose.

In Hollywood, they make movies like they make washing machines. It's a business. In Europe, the films are considered art. No producer would ever tell a director where to cut a film or how to re-write the script. I love Hollywood, but all of the time I have to go back to Europe.

Audition is the worst thing. It's like cleaning furniture in a department store.

I like digital films.

Werner Herzog, I knew him for so many years, when Fassbinder was at his highest moment. But we had a rule: An actor from Fassbinder could never work with an actor of Werner Herzog or Wim Wenders. Because if we would have done that, we would have been spies. 'Ah, you worked with Werner - how was it? How did he direct you?' I was Fassbinder's actor.

I try to do movies that are special.

I want to have fun. Big Hollywood films can be fun, but you know it's an industry, and if you don't function, they send you home.
