You are there as a brand ambassador of L'Oréal Paris in Cannes.How does it feel to finally put on make -up and style for the red carpet again?
To wear a nice dress and replace the sneakers for high heels after a year and a half - that is good!It is important that I get right that I feel comfortable.Because if you feel comfortable, you immediately radiate self -confidence.
What did you look forward to: on the kajalstift or the high heels?
My kohl has been quite heavily stressed in the past few months, the lipstick less.I didn't need it under the mask, I like to emphasize my lips.And as for the high heels.I am happy to shine a few centimeters again!
Have you enjoyed being without make -up in the past few months?
I don't go outside very without make -up.I always put on a BB Cream.This has long been routine for me.
How important is it to be wrinkled?
Wrinkles are part of my age.
Women have to fortify themselves now
They have been committed to women and equality for years.In pandemic, many women were mother, teacher, housewife and employee at the same time...
...And with an absolute naturalness!That must not be.We have to be careful not to fall back into the old role pattern.
How could you strengthen women now?
Above all, women have to sharpen their own self -esteem and self -confidence!For this we need networks in which they help and support each other.But the state is also required to give women the opportunity to reconcile family and work.In such a way that a woman naturally also has access to management positions or to call about which one still says that they are reserved for men.
A way of thinking that should have been history for a long time!
I agree!And if there is no other way, then over a women's quota.At first I was really an opponent of it.In the meantime I think, apparently pressure still has to be exerted so that things finally develop further.
A completely different topic: You once told us about your wish to learn more languages.Did you come to the Lockdown?
Oh, put your finger in the wound!I was lucky enough to be able to make three films in the time.Two of them abroad, in Greece and Lanzarote.So I would have had the opportunity to learn Greek and Spanish better...
but...
Well, how should I say...I got so well through the filming with my previous knowledge that I have not learned. but der Wunsch, Sprachen zu lernen, ist noch da.I travel so much and it would be nice to understand the people of other cultures even better. but nun, ich muss mich weiterhin so durchmogeln.And if nothing works anymore, then I try to dance the content (laughs).
