I always try to start my weekend by running on the beach, which is great fun here in Barcelona.

Eating is my main hobby now, and most of what I do on the weekend revolves around that.

My first languages are German and Spanish because I was brought up by a Spanish mother and a German father, so I always spoke both languages at home. I'm very thankful that I was brought up in a bilingual house.

I'm always nervous doing auditions - to be honest, I hate it. I always envy the actors who are so cool and cold-blooded when they go in for an audition, especially if it's for a part that you would really love to play.

When I was a kid, we all knew who Niki Lauda was. He was a hero, a living legend in Germany. Everybody knows him. And he's still very present on TV because he's commenting for Formula One.

We Germans should know that we're good at constructing cars, and we have a lot of good qualities. But we're not the funniest.
