It strikes me that throughout all these recent credits, Waltz plays men who are identifiably German, yet in each case there is no great need to explain or justify this.

The actor grins; he has noticed this, too. Fame is a whirlwind; it rearranges the furniture. The actor nods. He needs to talk about success compulsively with me.

Waltz has been thinking about this a good deal of late. Right now, he, Judith and their daughter are in the process of relocating from Berlin to Los Angeles.

Life is good, he has achieved what he dreamed of and the only possible downside is the loss of anonymity.

It closes itself off from the world it wants to talk about. In the past, Waltz risked shooting himself in the foot. But what is an audience?

Who is the average filmgoer? He says Carl Jung once claimed that if you collected a sample of 1, pebbles, you could calculate the average weight of a pebble on the beach.

Waltz loves this analogy; he thinks it proves that everyone is a square peg in a round hole, as awkward and as thorny as he is.

In the meantime, he has a new home to furnish and money to spend. His days on the dole are a long way behind him, yet he carries the experience with him; he catches himself constantly counting his pennies.

Just buy a new toaster. He points out that WC Fields stashed small sums of money in Main Street banks up and down the United States, just in case he ever found himself homeless and drifting and in need of a meal.

He suspects that he might be a little like that as well. Waltz recalls that earlier today he was asked how much fun it was to play a Bond baddie: could he rate the experience on a scale of one to 10?

He was utterly stumped. Now, for my benefit, he cocks both thumbs and affects a ghastly rictus grin. His eyes are ablaze and his German accent is showing.

Waltz's native language is German, and he also speaks both English and French fluently. Waltz was born in Vienna to a German father who applied for him to become a citizen of Germany after his birth.

Asked whether he felt Viennese, he responded: "I was born in Vienna, grew up in Vienna, went to school in Vienna, graduated in Vienna, studied in Vienna, started acting in Vienna — and there would be a few further Viennese links.
