Quotes
[on working with Sandra Hüller on Toni Erdmann (2016)] For me, it's like this: if you asked a musician, a serious musician playing in an orchestra, like in the Philharmonic orchestra - I know some who are wonderful musicians and they live their lives with their cello - and then a young one comes along. You can't tell by looking at him; everyone does what he tells them to do. Because he is an unusual talent. When you look at music, it can be observed more often because the criteria are more objective. For me, meeting Sandra Hüller was like that. I don't know any other actress who has their head and diaphragm in such close proximity. Put simply, she has no issues with credibility, never, no matter what she does.
