Artistically I like to do short-term things. Like I do a lot of commercials, I have the Miller commercial out where I play the Devil in Hell, where Hell is frozen. Udo Kier Read Quote
There’s actors and actresses who I call ‘Trailer Stars’ because their importance is expressed by how big their trailers are. And then there are real actors, who are real good people. Udo Kier Read Quote
I’m coming from an artistic background, from Europe, making films with Lars Van Trier like ‘Breaking the Waves,’ ‘Dancer in the Dark,’ all his films, ‘The Kingdom.’ But I like both, I like the totally artificial, commercial films where the actor has five or six bodyguards, I like that. Udo Kier Read Quote
There are many things, as an actor, where you find that a production just wants you for your name. I am not a big, big, big name, but maybe they can sell the movie if I am in it. This I don’t like. Udo Kier Read Quote
For me to do interviews is painful. People don’t know that. To do an interview is going back in time. And to go back in time, maybe it wasn’t all the time that good. Udo Kier Read Quote
If you have a smaller role, but if you work with a great director, they make it unforgettable. Udo Kier Read Quote
The good thing about films is, you never know how good they will be. If there was a formula, there would only be good films! Udo Kier Read Quote
In ‘House of Boys,’ I wanted to be in drag. It was amazing to be in the middle of all these drag queens. They did my makeup. I hardly recognized myself! That was very funny. Udo Kier Read Quote
