Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. Id say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, Id only be in action films, but Im interested in a more varied career than that. – 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. Hes a very talented director. – 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 dont sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I dont. Theres always a good reason for doing something. – Famke Janssen
Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, its because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you. – Abbas Kiarostami
