More quotes by 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
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 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
Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.
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 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
I like the work that I get to do.
Famke Janssen
I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.
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 every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.
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 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
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
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
Famke Janssen
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
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
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
I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
Famke Janssen
I've lived in New York for a really long time.
