More quotes by Famke Janssen
Every single time when you act in a film, and there's a different director, which of course as actors we're used to experiencing that's what we do, it's a different experience.
Famke Janssen
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
Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.
Famke Janssen
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
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'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.
Famke Janssen
I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.
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
As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.
Famke Janssen
I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.
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'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
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 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
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.
Famke Janssen
I like the work that I get to do.
Famke Janssen
Nobody sets out to make a bad film.
Famke Janssen
Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasnt in the script. It was something that I came up with.
Famke Janssen
During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring to me at first.
Famke Janssen
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.
Famke Janssen
