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! Udo Kier Read Quote
I mean, if you are director like Lars Von Trier who is able to get actors on a table like Lauren Bacall, Ben Gazzara, James Caan, Nicole Kidman, Chloe Sevigny, Stellan Skarsgard, Udo Kier, all in the self-service situation in the same room, the same trailer, no money, then you must have something that everybody accepts. Udo Kier Read Quote
I like to go from film to film, meeting new people and playing new roles. Because actors are like children: They want to play, and I like to play. Udo Kier Read Quote
Gus van Sant I met at the Berlin film festival, and he came up to me. He had a little film in the festival called ‘Mala Noche’ that he had made for $20,000. He said: ‘You are one of my favourite actors. I’m doing ‘My Own Private Idaho’ with River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. You should be in it!’ Then I started working with Gus. Udo Kier Read Quote
I’m very laid-back, and I meet people just by accident – never through agencies or anything like that. I met Paul Morrissey, who directed me in ‘Dracula’ and ‘Frankenstein,’ on a plane from Rome to Munich. He asked for my telephone number and wrote it in his passport. Udo Kier Read Quote
I think it’s important for a filmmaker to know his actors, because you have to work so closely together and you have to like them or you’ll have a horrible time. Udo Kier Read Quote
Evil has no limits. If you are a good person, everybody expects you to be good. If you are very good then you become Albert Schweitzer or Mother Theresa. Then you’re very good because you are helping people. But evil has no limits. Udo Kier Read Quote
