Famke Janssen Quotes |
| |
I think acting is just like that. There is something childish and fun about it.
| 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 love darkness. I am attracted to the dark side of life! I thought it was really interesting that Jean Grey went through some changes in this film. - About her character's change in X2: X-Men United
| I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.
