100 Quotes by Udo Kier

Anybody can act.

Sometimes, you can also have a big impact in a film just by doing something unexpected.

The first day of shooting came, and of course I was nervous. I would lie if I said I wasn't impressed. I mean, Lars von Trier hiring me to be the king in 'Medea'... Lars said, 'Stop! Stop!' And I was so nervous, I turned around and said, 'What is it?' He said, '... Just be a tired king.'
