AJ graces the cover of the German magazine's February 2016 issue. The issue features some new photos of AJ along with a new interview! 

​Interview has also been added to Press
(Note: The transcript is originally in German but I have translated it to English for you to read. I used a online translator so if you speak German and you notice any mistakes please let me know, in the comment section, so I can correct them)

Interview Transcript

As a teenager you decided to be an actress. How did our family respond to your plans?
My family was always very supportive. I was raised in a household in which creativity was encouraged. Especially my mother always encouraged me - she was always my biggest cheerleader
 
What would you have done today if acting hadn’t worked out? Would you have gone ahead as a dancer?
That's what I ask myself all the time. At this point in my life I would certainly have worked somehow in the fitness world. I probably would own my own Pilates studio and my own fitness blog. It's so inspiring to see people who take control of their health into their own hands and live a happy life.
 
Recently you have become a mother for the second time. How hard is it to get your career and your family life under one roof?
It’s frankly quite difficult. It is always a balancing act. Sometimes I feel as if I fail completely. All I can do is to take the things as they come - day by day - and to enjoy the trip, because the time goes by way too quickly to constantly stressed. My boys are great – they are beautiful and they make me laugh every day. I have so much joy in my life and that I'm trying to concentrate on that and not on the giant to-do list that I have not done that day.
 
You met you husband at university and have been together since. What’s your secret?
We have been together for a long time. As in any other relationship, we have our ups and downs. I think our secret is that, as we change, we both fall in love with each other over and over again.
 
What is a normal day in your life look like?
The mornings are stressful.First I get my baby up, get him ready, and then get Mekhai up and ready before I prepare breakfast for them. While the boys eat, I make Mekhai’s lunch, grab his backpack and then take him to school. The rest of the day consists of – feeding the baby and, while he naps, working off my to-do list. However, I also find some time for myself. To do something athletic - otherwise I would go crazy. I need the endorphins flowing through my body to get my energy in order to preserve and maintain a clear head. In the evening at our house we have dinner and then put the children to bed. Once the boys are in bed my husband and I take some time to be with one another.
 
What is your beauty routine?
It’s pretty simple. I don’t really have one. But I absolutely need one; I'm not getting any younger! Every night I wash my face thoroughly and moisturize it. I also drink a lot of water.
 
What do you enjoy more – Making a movie or a TV series?
Both are great. If the role is great, it makes no difference to me.
 
What would be your dream role?
I’d love to play an action hero
​
What are your plans and projects for 2016?
We are on the 11th season of Criminal Minds, and hopefully we will also get a 12th season. Otherwise I’m going to focus on fitness and health, and how I can get it all in harmony with my family.
