Klaus Kinski's Life Hacks - 2. How To Accept An Award

So somebody wants to give you a gong...

In the latest in a very occasional series, Werner Herzog’s actor-of-choice/arch nemesis once more bellows from beyond the grave. And with awards season all but over, here the Fitzcarraldo star explains what to do should someone ever so much as dare to award you a prize:

“What gal!! Who gave those shitheads the right to award me anything! Did it never occur to them that there might be someone who doesn’t want their shit?

“What filthy arrogance to award me - me, of all people! - a prize! And there’s not even a cheque! It’s outrageous!”
