More quotes by Famke Janssen
I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
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 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.

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.

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 felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.
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 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 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
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 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
When somebody walks into a room they give off a certain kind of vibe or whatever and at that point that's how you're going to cast 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
The Dutch are a very practical people.

I'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.
