Daily Inspiration Quote by Klaus Kinski

Kinski delivers desire as compulsion, not romance: a restless appetite that treats intimacy like a room you’re already leaving. The line’s punch is the casual, almost shrugging syntax - “sort of,” “always,” “another one” - as if he’s describing a harmless tic rather than a pattern that can bruise everyone around him. That mismatch is the subtext. He’s not confessing to pain; he’s performing inevitability.

Coming from an actor whose public mythos was volatility, the quote reads less like an attempt to understand himself than to pre-empt judgment. “So there was always another one” turns choice into weather. It’s a rhetorical sleight of hand: if the urge is constant, then the consequences are merely incidental. The final sentence, “I can’t explain this,” is doing heavy lifting. It’s not curiosity; it’s abdication. The moment he claims opacity, he dodges responsibility while keeping the aura of tortured complexity that celebrity culture often rewards.

There’s also a dark professionalism to it. Actors trade in want - in gaze, attention, conquest - and Kinski frames his life with the same forward momentum as a scene that can’t hold on a single beat. The “another one” isn’t just another woman; it’s another hit of novelty, another proof of power, another escape from stillness. The quote works because it’s self-mythmaking in plain clothes: a blunt admission that smuggles in an alibi.
