Diane Kruger has a "fear" of being "tied down".
The ‘In the Fade’ actress – who has a two-month-old daughter with partner Norman Reedus – feels "anxious" if she doesn’t have stability in her life, but she also values her "personal freedom" and ability to change things if she’s unhappy.
She said: "I’ve always had a strong sense of personal freedom, you shouldn’t be afraid to change things if you’re not happy.
"I’ve moved around a lot and sometimes feel unsettled, it is important for me to have some stability and structure or I become anxious.
"But I also have a fear of being tied down."
The 42-year-old star thinks her career has helped bring her out of her shell because she’s quite introverted in her everyday life.
She told Psychologies magazine: "I have a quiet side and I’m kind of wary with people I don’t know.
"That’s maybe why I love acting – because I become more extroverted when I’m working in the closed environment of a film set, and I get to throw myself into a character.
"I’ve always found so much satisfaction from being able to express myself through different characters and personalities – it opens me up."
Diane often reassesses her career and her goal and often wonders whether she should move in a different direction.
She said: "I think we find ourselves questioning our lives and careers and whether it’s still possible to head in a new direction. As I get older, I wonder about those issues more often."
