[on his role in Männer wie wir (2004)] I had read the script and knew what I was getting myself into. I had a lot of fun doing it. I tried to imagine what it would be like if I was gay. For me it was important to do it without clichés like the pinky, the shaking butt or a higher pitched voice, to portray the character in a most natural way. My approach was to simply portray a story of first love - only that this one was with a man.
