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.

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.

The Dutch are a very practical people.

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 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.

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.

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
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
Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.
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
I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
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 felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.
Famke Janssen
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

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.
