Nastassja Kinski
I want to feel good, I want to feel proud, I want to feel that I give someone enough and that I get enough. View quote

Not that I want everything right now; but I do want everything. View quote

I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one. (Nastassja Kinski)
It's so great to love somebody and, out of that, to make a child. So that's my goal. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
You play a part, and as soon as a movie is over and the camera stops, you go home and you're not really responsible for what you've done. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
My father is so expressive that things he feels even before they are thoughts are visible on his skin. He heats up. What other people work on, he was born with. He's got eyes like the sky and like hell at the same time. They're so clear and blue and alert and serious, and then they're like hell. That's how he is. He is total light and pureness and then hell. He gives totally or he gives nothing. He is like the sun, then an iceberg, then nonexistent, and then the sun again. Which is fine. It's a lot better than most people are. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
If you get typecast, it's up to you to break that. Since I started real young, getting roles where they would ask me to take my clothes off, I would get those [types of] scripts over and over. The fact that I'm still here and working... I don't know if it's so much because of my performances or something else. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
I'm going to make myself seem more mysterious because I'm really not so mysterious. Or, if I am, it's because everybody is a mystery. Now that I'm older, at least I can be more amused by what people said. View quote

Nastassja Kinski
My parents found what I was interested in and encouraged me. They didn't put me in front of a television and buy lots of toys, the way some American parents do. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
My mother and I have this really strangely close relationship. No other relationship can come close to it. It's frightening. Even when I'm in a relationship with a man, I compare it to my relationship with my mother. She is a friend, but she is still a mother, and everything a mother needs to be, she is. She is really observing and caring and doesn't want anything but giving because it's her joy. Even when I can't bear anybody, not even myself, she 's like the sun coming up to me. She dedicated all her life to me. Sometimes I feel that she gave her life to me and now it's my job to maybe take her somewhere. But what is it she doesn't know? She knows things I couldn't begin to know. Yet she is so fresh with ideas which I already take for granted. She sometimes wakes me up and says, 'Don't you see? (Nastassja Kinski)
I always have the feeling in these low states that something good is about to happen. That's when I feel the fullest, the rawest, the closest to myself. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
The years go so fast. I mean, I just realized that at the end of the year I will be twenty-two, and I just turned twenty-one. View quote
Nastassja Kinski
It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity. View quote
