Diane Kruger: 'I'm Not Cultured Enough'

Diane Kruger has made it big in her modeling and acting career, but the 34-year-old doesn't feel like she's really learned anything about the world so far in her life. She doesn't think she's "cultured enough" and is now determined to travel and explore more in the next phase of her life.

She said: “Getting older, I realized I didn't know anything. I felt incredibly stupid. I've always been very self-righteous. I've always been like, 'I speak three different languages, I'm so accomplished.' And everyone tells me, 'You're so pretty', and then it was a big realization that I don't understand anything, that I feel like I'm not cultured enough, that I'm stupid sometimes. That's my thing in my thirties. I want to work on 'me' much more."

Diane said it was her desire to explore more of the world which prompted her to take roles such as in Special Forces, which gave her the opportunity to interview female kidnap victims in Gaza and Afghanistan to research her role as a journalist taken by the Taliban. The film was then shot in remote parts of Africa and the Himalayas.

Diane admits she was “horrible to everybody” during making the movie, but said the experience “really changed” her. She added to The Independent newspaper: "I just thought it was fascinating on a personal level. How many times have I been at home, cooking dinner and the TV news is on, and you're like, 'Ugh! Turn this off!' You take for granted that you have access to information.”

Diane Kruger Credits Joshua Jackson For Making Her Wiser

“Unknown” actress Diane Kruger, who recently shared how she lives her life in anonymity, says that her boyfriend of 5 years, Joshua Jackson, has really helped her to expand her thinking when it comes to reading and learning about the world.

“Josh is someone who is very grounded. It’s pure, there’s no bulls**t. He is very curious and is someone who always reads and is very politically engaged. He awakened the urge to ask more questions. You can take so many things for granted, because you read them and think it must be true, and he’s not like that.”

That’s my thing in my thirties. I want to work on ‘me’ much more… Getting older, I realised I didn’t know anything. I felt incredibly stupid.

“I’ve always been very self-righteous. I’ve always been like, ‘I speak three different languages, I’m so accomplished.’ And everyone tells me, ‘You’re so pretty’, and then it was a big realisation that I don’t understand anything, that I feel like I’m not cultured enough, that I’m stupid sometimes.”

I think we can all relate to that. You think you’re very worldly until someone or something pushes your thinking in a new way and helps you to see things differently. I think we’re all continuously growing and learning about the world around us.
