• ‟ I like to work with directors who write their own stories.

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ There are a few directors - quite a few - who I would like to work with, but I have never written a letter to a director in my life.

• ‟ I remember when I worked with Fassbinder in Germany, actors wrote letters to him. But you see, a director wants to discover you himself. He doesn't want the actor to say, 'oh, I'd love to work with you' - the actor says that to other people, too.

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ I had such a horrible childhood. My father was already married with three children when I was born and my mother didn't know. So we grew up poor. We had no hot water until I was 17. I went to work in a factory, and worked and saved for months until I had the money to come to England.

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ I like to work with directors where you feel they make the movies not for the audience, but make them for themselves. They don't care if it's a success financially. That's what I like.

  - Udo Kier

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ Werner Herzog, I knew him for so many years, when Fassbinder was at his highest moment. But we had a rule: An actor from Fassbinder could never work with an actor of Werner Herzog or Wim Wenders. Because if we would have done that, we would have been spies. 'Ah, you worked with Werner - how was it? How did he direct you?' I was Fassbinder's actor.

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ If you have a smaller role, but if you work with a great director, they make it unforgettable.

  - Udo Kier
  

• ‟ I don't like to work with directors who have taken an adoption from another script writer, because it's too much: one of them writes it and then has to explain it to the other, or maybe the director sees it in a way the writer doesn't want it.

  - Udo Kier
