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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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'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
The Dutch are a very practical people.
Famke Janssen
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
Famke Janssen
I've lived in New York for a really long time.
Famke Janssen
Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.
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 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'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
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 always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
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 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
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
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
I'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.
