More quotes by Famke Janssen
Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I've lived in New York for a really long time.

I don't know how to cook and there's so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I'll just order some take-out.
Famke Janssen
Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I'm riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I'm happy.

I don't even have cable anymore, or a television. I just watch on computers. It's clearly the future of where we're heading.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.
Famke Janssen
I want to work with great directors. I want to work on good material with good actors. I've probably done 20 movies at this point and a lot of independents. It's been an incredible ride and I love it and I'm just going to keep going and doing what I'm doing.
Famke Janssen
I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.
Famke Janssen
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
Famke Janssen
If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.
Famke Janssen
I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.
Famke Janssen
There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.
Famke Janssen
I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I'm assuming they're at least going to want to touch on it, but I don't know and I don't know whether I would want to be involved. That depends on many different things.
Famke Janssen
It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.
Famke Janssen
I think one of the biggest things is the budget.For a studio, becomes a very big challenge to make sure that movie will work even better on every level. As an actor I don't think in those terms when I make a movie.
Famke Janssen
I like the work that I get to do.
Famke Janssen
I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.
Famke Janssen
I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
Famke Janssen
Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasnt in the script. It was something that I came up with.
