- Once he was offered the leading role in Pretty Woman (1990), but he ultimately turned it down.
- Inherited the mysterious Iffland-Ring from Josef Meinrad, which is given to the most important actor of German speaking theater since over 200 years. In his testament, Ganz declared that the German actor Jens Harzer should be the next recipient.
- He was in a relationship with Romy Schneider at the beginning of the 70s.
- His longtime companion was the photographer Ruth Walz.
- His performance as the angel Damiel in Der Himmel über Berlin (1987) became so iconic, that he could make a short and silent appearance as the same character in Children of Nature - Eine Reise (1991) without confusing the audience. Later, he would reprise the role in the sequel In weiter Ferne, so nah! (1993).
- [on his performance in Der Untergang (2004)] Ultimately, I could not get to the heart of Hitler because there was none.
- [on Der Untergang (2004)] What people need is for Hitler to actually represent evil itself. But what is evil itself? That means nothing to me. I have to perform a living human being. (...) We know how to judge Hitler. We don't need another film that condemns him. We already know where we stand on this. I mean, there is certainly no sympathy for Hitler in the film. [Irish Times, 2005]
- [recounting how people ascribed special powers to him when they recognized him in public, because of playing the angel Damiel in Der Himmel über Berlin (1987)] People in planes said: 'Ah, no need to be afraid, because with you here, nothing can happen. Now we are safe.' Or a mother said to her child: 'Look, there's your guardian angel.' They weren't joking. [Danish film journal 'P.O.V.']
