FAMKE JANSSEN QUOTES |

"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 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
"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
"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 have smoked." - 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 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 live in New York. I don't really particularly want to move to
LA." - Famke Janssen
"I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of
the best." - Famke Janssen
"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
"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
"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 going to direct something with two other actresses. We're
directing. It's Christina Ricci, Rosario Dawson and myself. It's
one narrative but there's three different storylines that you
follow, and each one of us is going to act in one of them and
direct one of the other ones." - Famke Janssen
"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
"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
"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
"Just because you're of the same sex, what difference does it
make? Get married to whomever you want." - Famke Janssen
"Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to
put his name on my resume next." - Famke Janssen
"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
"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
"The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up
looking phoney." - Famke Janssen
"Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasn't in the
script. It was something that I came up with." - Famke Janssen
"We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women
want to be them and men want to do them." - Famke Janssen |
