Quotes By Famke Janssen

You don't ever know with films. You just hope for the best, but sometimes it's a bit of a crapshoot.

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.
