Til Schweiger

“I lived in L.A. for seven years, and if you're a German actor, they always throw the Nazi parts at you.”

“They've been bashing me since I started making films.”

“I don't think German films have to be heavy or intellectual the way they sometimes used to be.”

“I don't want to be the only one speaking up for the refugees. I get all these comments from people saying, 'Thanks so much for your courage,' and, 'You're the only one who's spoken out.' But I don't want to be the only one speaking up.”

“I hate sitting around and waiting; that's why I always have an editing suite on set.”

“I just fooled around in front of the camera and earned money for it. Every policeman, every soldier, every nurse - they all do more for society. I just rent my face.”

“I'm happy when my name's not in the paper.”
