Famke Janssen

“Hollywood is a place where they place you in a box, and they want you to be that thing.”

“I'd rather be a character actor than a star.”

“Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured.”

“My own personal taste is that I like to see women who are not tampered with.”

“I feel like I'm a character actor, and I'm very comfortable with that.”

“I'm a workaholic. I love to work. I love to be creative.”

“It's not like I'm the most famous person in the world.”

“I'm a very private person. I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties.”

“I have a lot of chameleon qualities, I get very absorbed in my surroundings.”

“I'm not a person who has a lot of regrets. I'm not a person who looks backwards.”

“I've had to learn to be gentle with myself. I think it's something that we all have to learn.”

“I'm very specific about scripts, and I'm not a hired gun. I don't just do anything.”

“I find that the most challenging thing for me is to be in a good mood.”

“I love New York. It's my favorite city.”
