I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.
Famke Janssen
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
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 like the work that I get to do.
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'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.

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.
