~ Famke Janssen Quote
The great thing I think when you do independents is that people are really there for the same reason. They're not there because they got a lot of money and they want to just go home and get it over with. They're there because they believe in the script or the director or the cast or whatever it is.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I don't even like talking about dating. It's like having a stamp on your forehead: I'm available and I'm looking.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I found it difficult being objectified 24 hours a day, and that's not the nicest feeling. People dress you up, tell you where to stand and what to do you don't have any creative input.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
Playing psychos is fun, they give you the license and freedom that you don't have when you play a normal person. Because, with a psycho, there's no limit, you can absolutely ham it up.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I treat Lick just like a baby. I am consumed by my dog and I can't wait to dress Lick in his cashmere and take him for a walk. Cashmere sweaters, raincoats, collars, and leashes to match - from Prada to Burberry's.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I think acting is just like that. There is something childish and fun about it.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
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 Quote
I'm not keen on spiders, but I like heights. I'd love to jump out of a plane, but not bungee-jumping. I imagine that would be painful because you have to go back up again.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I want to work with good, interesting directors.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
As long as corruption exists, human trafficking will likely flourish I'd like to give something back on an issue that matters to me.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasn't in the script. It was something that I came up with.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
Vanity is a real turn-off. It's bad enough in women, but in men it is really not appealing to me. I don't like people who are just kind of full of themselves or spend a lot of time getting ready. Guys just look great when they wake up in the morning with their hair all messed up, scruffy or whatever.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I don't want to be exploited. That of course, as an actress, is a real challenge, not to be exploited. So I'm just going to keep looking for as many different types of roles as I can find in different genre movies. That's my goal, my aim. I like doing that. I've had a pretty varied career so far.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
Women want to be superheroes, and men want to do them.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
Clearly they haven't seen it, but I guess a lot of superheroes wear capes. I only remember because I have a dog, and one Halloween I gave him a little Superman costume, and it had a cape. But poor Jean Grey --and Phoenix-- never had a cape.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
There is something childish and fun about it.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I would rather not work, than to be in a movie that nobody's watching.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I live in New York. I don't really particularly want to move to LA.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I don't like message movies, I don't believe that movies ought to have messages. It's sort of a myth in Hollywood that you have to have a message. But I don't know. If a movie is a reflection of life, and life is very harsh, then that's enough.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I've never dated, I've always just had boyfriends.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
My dream is to find a guy. Someone who can tell me a different bedtime story every night.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I love darkness. I am attracted to the dark side of life! I thought it was really interesting that Jean Grey went through some changes in this film.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
In these little movies with no money and no time, you have to consolidate shots. All of a sudden, instead of doing close-ups, people end up in three shots. And if there's no room to go to one more angle, then sorry, we're going to have to skip that angle and just move on to the next thing.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
Looking back, boy, has there ever been a stigma in being a Bond Girl. That's what my mission in life is, just to prove them wrong. That's why I have such an urge to keep going and proving that. It's so silly. What on earth does the way you look have anything to do with whether you can act or not?
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I felt different being born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette, and then I started growing and growing and growing. I never seemed to stop. When I was 12, all my girlfriends seemed to come up to my waist.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
He's part of a group of friends I've known a long time. We never even dated. I don't even like talking about dating. It's like having a stamp on your forehead: 'I'm available and I'm looking'. I've been in relationships since I was 16, so it's nice to have a little break. It's nice to find out you can do things on your own - like I can drill things in my apartment with a power drill. I'm excited about that. Before, I'd have asked the person I was with to do it. Little things like that give me satisfaction.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
The movies are hard work, but the cast is great and we have a lot of fun. Unfortunately Bryan Singer isn't doing this one he's busy making the new Superman film. It saddens me that he won't be on board because he did such an incredible job. He made great movies rather than silly popcorn flicks.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
For Thanksgiving, I really don't care what I eat, as long as my meat gets well massaged that day, if you know what I mean, baby!
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of the best.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
We've always been ready for female superheroes, because women want to be them, and men want to do them.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
I felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
We were more likely to be reading Tintin, personally I found comics a little confusing; I was more into novels. With a novel you simply read from left to right, but comics have all those little balloons, and I never knew where to look.
~ Famke Janssen Quote
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 Quote
