I look a certain way. I have a very specific kind of look.

I love scary movies. The Shining and Don’t Look Now are two of the best.

Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.

During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring...

Film has played such a big part in my life, in my impressions of the United States.

I love stories about two people who are doing illegal things, who we really enjoy watching despite the fact that we know they are doomed in some way.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody’s path, what they’ve done.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don’t sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don’t. There’s always a good reason for doing something.

I don’t watch TV.

I personally like to do independent films.

I live in New York. I don’t really particularly want to move to LA.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He’s a very talented director.

I’ve lived in New York for a really long time.

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it’s great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.

Just because you’re of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.

I want to work with great directors. I want to work on good material with good actors. I’ve probably done 20 movies at this point and a lot of independents. It’s been an incredible ride...

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

I am attracted to the dark side of life!

I think there’s a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.

Robert De Niro… It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

I have a friend in New York who’s a stylist and I went over to her place because she’s got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it’s all...

My French is still good. That’s a beautiful language and I’m happy to speak it.

I’m intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.

I’m 5′ 11″ as I proudly say – just so I don’t have to say six feet.

I started as a model in Holland and Chanel took me to New York when I was 19, after which I decided to stay.

It’s never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you’re the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop...

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

Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth and I have to say when I’m riding around in that crazy Space Mountain ride I’m happy.

I’m trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.

Netflix is something I watch.

The great thing I think when you do independents is that people are really there for the same reason. They’re not there because they got a lot of money and they want to just go...

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...

I never follow anybody’s path, what they’ve done.

There’s certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

The Dutch are a very practical people.

I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera ‘Melrose Place.’

I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I’m assuming they’re at least going to want to touch on it, but I don’t know and I don’t know whether I...

Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasn’t in the script. It was something that I came up with.

The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

I don’t know how to cook and there’s so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I’ll just order some take-out.

We’ve always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.

I like the work that I get to do.

In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand – this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama – and what’s the point of independent film if you don’t...

When someone holds a knife to your throat it’s easy to be scared. It’s not hard to imagine what it would be like.
