More quotes by 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 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.

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 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
Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasnt in the script. It was something that I came up with.
Famke Janssen
Nobody sets out to make a bad film.
Famke Janssen
Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.
Famke Janssen
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

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.
Famke Janssen
I'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.
Famke Janssen
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.
Famke Janssen
I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.

I like the work that I get to do.
