3. SOUNDBITE (English) Diane Kruger, actress - on the Cannes Film Festival:
"Well I think Cannes is still the biggest film festival in the world and every year you come it's the biggest platform for your movie that's possible, and it's nerve-wracking when you have a film in competition, you know. It's sort of the adrenaline and you know that every single journalist from over the world is going to have an opinion about you on basically the same night and it's very visible. It's a great launching pad also for a career. My very first red carpet was actually in Cannes."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Diane Kruger, actress - on the film that she is promoting at the festival:
"Yes, it's called "Special Forces." I play a war journalist that gets kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan. It was certainly a very emotional and intense film for me to make. I got to interview a lot of female journalists that actually got abducted, whether it was in Afghanistan or elsewhere, and we shot in Tajikistan, which is near to the border of Afghanistan, lived in yurts for a month and a half 15,000 feet up in the Himalayas so it was as real as you could have it for a movie about this and the director comes from documentary filmmaking. He's lived in Kabul for many years. he's made documentaries about the conflict so it was an interesting experience."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Diane Kruger, actress - on whether she would like to repeat the experience:
"Honestly, I don't know. I had my fair share of yurts and it made me appreciate journalism a lot more. I think I realized how jaded I was. It's such a given for us to have access to information. I mean how many times have I been home and cooked dinner and the news is on and you're like 'ah, turn that off. I don't want to hear what's going on,' yet I don't often think about what it takes for journalists to actually feed us this information and that was a big eye opener. I realized how ignorant I was."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Diane Kruger, actress - on her fashion sense:
"It's just part of the whole package you have to do as an actress and truly I genuinely love fashion. I come from fashion. I was a model before but I don't really think about it too much. I don't work with a stylist. I am very fortunate in the fact that I have friends in the fashion industry and they willingly send me stuff that I like."

STORYLINE
Diane Kruger loves making smaller-budget European movies, partly because the experience is more authentic than shooting Hollywood blockbusters. Just don't ask her to sleep in a yurt.
The "Inglourious Basterds" star stayed in one of the traditional Central Asian felt tents for a month and a half while filming her latest movie, "Special Forces" _ about a French journalist kidnapped by the Taliban.
To prepare, Kruger said she'd interviewed several female reporters who've survived kidnapping in various parts of the world.
"It was an eye-opener," she told The Associated Press in an interview on the terrace of Cannes' seaside Martinez Hotel. "it made me appreciate journalism a lot more. I realized how jaded I
journalists to feed us that information."
"It was an interesting experience, Kruger said _ far from the over-the-top luxuries of Hollywood super-productions.
