Famke Janssen Quotes:
  • "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 felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette. In an interview to People Weekly magazine, July 31, 2000. Volume 54, Number 5."
  • "I would rather not work than play in a movie that nobody watches."
  • "We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them."
  • "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."
