Famke Janssen
There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.
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
