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.

The Dutch are a very practical people.

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.

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 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
I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'
Famke Janssen
Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.
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
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
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
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

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.

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.
