Nobody sets out to make a bad film.
Famke Janssen
Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.
Famke Janssen

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

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
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
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
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 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
I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.
