Thomas Kretschmann Quotes

• [on his title role in Eichmann (2007)] I was born long after the war but I still carry this collective guilt around. It’s not as much fun for a German to play a part like this than it would be for, say, Ralph Fiennes. It’s a very juicy part, but I couldn’t get myself excited to go and play Eichmann. Strangely, I have lots of Jewish friends in LA. My wife is Jewish. They were all excited that I play him, so I wanted to do it for them.
• Leaving [home] is kind of a strange thing – the world opens up but, at the same time, it gets smaller. The more you see of the world, the smaller it seems. After I did the film Stalingrad (1993), I left Germany, and I did a couple of films in France and lived there for about three years, and a couple of films in Italy, and lived there for two years. Then I came over here. The more you get familiar with different countries, the more you think, “Where am I going to live for the rest of my life?” You think, “OK, Germany sucks – don’t want to live there; France, no; Italy – the food is nice, but I don’t want to live there”. In the end, you have nowhere to go anymore.
