Conrad Veidt

Have you ever walked late at night through a forest when you are first in love?

I used to think then that I was Bohemian, but I know now that I am not. I prefer order and precision to untidiness and looseness.

I was appalled at the amount of study necessary in order to qualify in medicine, and gradually my desire was blunted by a keener - and secret - wish to become an actor.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
