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. Udo Kier Read Quote
I collect chairs and lights, which obviously means I want to sit in the light – not surprising for an actor I suppose. Udo Kier Read Quote
If David Lynch wants me to audition I will do it. But a young filmmaker, no. I won’t. Udo Kier Read Quote
I don’t mind playing Nazis, but I’ll only play them in comedies. I wouldn’t play a serious Nazi. Udo Kier Read Quote

Rob Zombie’s very intellectual-crazy, and I like people like that. No stupid craziness. Udo Kier Read Quote
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.’ Udo Kier Read Quote
