More quotes by Famke Janssen

Famke Janssen
The Dutch are a very practical people.
Famke Janssen
I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.
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
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

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
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
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
I'm 5' 11 as I proudly say - just so I don't have to say six feet.
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 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
I felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.
Famke Janssen
Nobody sets out to make a bad film.
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
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.
