Quote of the Day- Klaus Kinski



Today, we start our quotes from famous Germans with a quip from the late, great eccentric actor Klaus Kinski (1926-1991) who appeared as the title vampire in the 1979 remake of "Nosferatu" entitled "Nosferatu the Vampire."

The film was one of many that Kinski did with director Werner Herzog, which also included "Fitzcarradlo" (1982). The feud between the two during the shoot in the Amazon River basin of Peru became the basis for Les Blank's acclaimed documentary "Burden of Dreams."

Kinski also appeared in several spaghetti westerns, including the vintage "Bullet for the General" (1966).

Here is his quote:

"I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst, your hunger, your food, and your drink."
