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
Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.
Famke Janssen
I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.
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
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.
Famke Janssen
I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
