I like to work with directors where you feel they make the movies not for the audience, but make them for themselves. They don’t care if it’s a success financially. That’s what I like. Udo Kier Read Quote
Lars von Trier, Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog: They all write, which is much better because it’s their baby, and they know what they want. Udo Kier Read Quote
I remember when I worked with Fassbinder in Germany, actors wrote letters to him. But you see, a director wants to discover you himself. He doesn’t want the actor to say, ‘oh, I’d love to work with you’ – the actor says that to other people, too. Udo Kier Read Quote
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. Udo Kier Read Quote
I have few friends. I can count them on one hand. I go by myself to the cleaners and the supermarket and I live alone with my dogs. Udo Kier Read Quote
I had such a horrible childhood. My father was already married with three children when I was born and my mother didn’t know. So we grew up poor. We had no hot water until I was 17. I went to work in a factory, and worked and saved for months until I had the money to come to England. Udo Kier Read Quote
Working with someone like Fassbinder was a 24-hour job. You had to be part of the family, and play his games. Udo Kier Read Quote
