The casting agent in Germany who suggested a group of people to Quentin for the German parts because Quentin, being Quentin, insisted in this authenticity that all the German parts are being played by German actors, all the French by French, the Americans by Americans.

Yeah, of course, you know, in the interest of, you know, making this a box office success, you know, they tried to talk him into casting American stars, but he insisted.

He wanted Germans for Germans.

Right.

Well, one doesn't contradict the other.

I was, I should say, kind of resigned to going on making German movies.

You know, it could be, you know, you could be in Ghana trying to get a movie together.

It would probably be a lot more difficult.

So we have something that resembles, albeit remotely, an industry in Germany and in Austria, but it's mostly geared towards TV.

So, you know, TV is a different form of production, different form of attention, different form of work altogether.

And that's not really, you know, what I kind of set out to do when I started out.

Well, in the interest of making a living, yeah, you...

You do it, of course.
