Parenting & Family Quote by Nastassja Kinski

"It's so great to love somebody and, out of that, to make a child. So that's my goal"

About this Quote

The line fuses eros, creation, and purpose into a single arc: love first, then a child as love made visible. It rejects the transactional or accidental in favor of an intentional sequence where intimacy generates new life. That small hinge phrase, out of that, insists on causality. A child is not a solution to loneliness or an accessory to fame but the natural flowering of mutual devotion. The goal is not celebrity milestones or critical acclaim; it is to root life in a bond sturdy enough to bear another life.

Coming from Nastassja Kinski, the statement carries biographical weight. The daughter of a mercurial screen legend who grew up amid the turbulence of European art-house cinema, she became famous young and was often framed by others narratives about beauty and desire. Setting love and motherhood as a goal sounds like a quiet act of reclamation, a way to choose the terms of creation rather than be cast within them. She had already shown in films like Tess and Paris, Texas a face that could hold innocence and experience at once, and this ideal marries those poles: tender origins, grown-up responsibility.

There is also an artistic echo in it. Actors make characters, directors make films, but to make a child out of love is a more elemental authorship, one that binds identity, ethics, and time. The aspiration suggests continuity, a wish to transform an often chaotic inheritance into care. It is romantic, but not naive. It locates meaning not in intensity alone, but in what love builds and sustains.

Heard against the backdrop of Hollywoods restless ambition, the line sounds almost radical in its simplicity. It treats intimacy as a vocation and family as a craft. To love somebody, and from that love to give forward, becomes a measure of success that outlasts the spotlight and answers a deeper hunger for wholeness.
