"It was a special experience to meet Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and to talk with him. The more i listen to his thoughts about life and its values, the more i see parallels between our understanding of life. The personalities of art and culture move people consciously or unconsciously. In any case, some of them bring people to think with films and their life's works. It is important what kind of person you are and what values are important to you in life. I saw a down to earth person who not only remained very realistic with his success, but also created a great performance through his artistic visions in his filmography. "- says Pop Art artist Tanja Playner.
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck shared his memories of the conversation with Steven Spielberg at the 2007 Oscars award ceremony, which accompanies him in his career even today.

But you always have to stay inside who you are ". Donnersmarck said about the success: "Success has a lot to do with luck. You have to be very careful with success. Speculation about success must be completely banished from your head". Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck also mentioned one of the most famous Austrians - Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the best philosophers among the actors.
The new film by Donnersmarck "Werk ohne Autor" was submitted to the Oscar nomination. For the story, a journalist was the trigger, which dealt with the biography of the painter Gerhard Richter.
