Wealth & Money Quote by Michelle Hunziker

"I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something"

About this Quote

Hunziker makes cosmopolitanism sound less like a branding exercise and more like a working method: go somewhere else, let it rearrange you, bring the rearrangement back. Coming from an actress whose career has been shaped by cross-border media (Swiss roots, Italian stardom, European TV’s constant cultural remix), the line reads as both personal credo and professional strategy. In entertainment, “working in different countries” isn’t just travel; it’s navigating different senses of humor, flirtation, formality, pace, even what counts as “authentic” on camera. Calling those differences “beautiful” reframes friction as fuel.

The phrasing “mentality differences” is telling. It sidesteps politics and leans into the everyday psychology of culture: what people assume, what they tolerate, what they celebrate. That’s a performer’s angle. Actors live on micro-adjustments - timing, tone, the social temperature of a room - and national audiences can be radically different rooms. Her “so rich” isn’t about money; it’s about texture, the abundance of perspectives you can steal (politely) for your own repertoire.

The subtext is aspirational but not naive. “One always carries forward something” implies exchange with residue: each project leaves a trace you can’t unlearn. It’s also a gentle argument against the small-minded version of celebrity, the one that treats foreignness as an exotic backdrop. Hunziker pitches it as education through immersion, a soft power ethos: become more adaptable, more observant, more human - then let that show up in the work.
