Heike Makatsch in the Gala Interview:”I am a nice person”

If there is something Heike Makatsch , 46, does not like, then there will be interviews. Strolling over the red carpet, okay, that’s part of being a star. But she prefers to shoot movies. She is all the more astonished when she completely forgets the time when talking with GALA and almost missed her appointment.

when did you get up today? And: Is it hectic for you?

Yes, yes, there’s always a lot to do early in the morning, so I usually get up at a quarter past six.

You are mother of three daughters. Do you have an organizational routine?

We get it all right. I have a good and working family network.

You now have your second mission as a ” crime scene ” commissioner, playing a single mother juggling job and child. Have you asked yourself the question in real life: child or career?

I never asked myself that question. I’ve never worried or thought: how will that be? I have always felt where and how my priorities are. Today I feel really privileged. Because the job and children went really well. I have always made my career choices for the family.

You have broken off your political studies and also your tailoring apprenticeship. Then suddenly the music station VIVA came towards you. How did it come to these blatant breaks?

From the outside, that may seem a bit strange, and the transition from a tailor’s apprenticeship to VIVA was also a tough cut. However, at the end of the day, I always walked through the doors that were right for me at the right time, and every step I took marked me. Also negative experiences have brought me further.

Without lifting off?

I’m pretty sure of that. I have always had friends around me who have kept me on the carpet – and my parents have never been awestruck in front of the flickering box when the daughter was in it. That was an organic growth in this industry.

From girlie to character actress – sounds like a dream …

… but the way was not always as straight and supple as it may look in retrospect. But at some point I always made very clear decisions for myself. I have learned to say “yes” and in the right moments also “no”. Even if droughts came in between. You have to endure that. The only compass I have is myself.

Do you consider yourself a friendly person?

Why do you ask that? (Smiles)

Because you hear here and there, they are “a bit difficult” and “bulky”.

It is not a superficial concern for me to always be nice. And yet I think, I am a very nice person.

We like to confirm. How is it on Easter Monday: Will you look at the “crime scene” together with the family?

I’ve already seen him, but maybe we’ll see him again.
