Quotes

“I worked out six hours a day, six days a week, to get 16 pounds of extra muscle.”

“I speak Dutch, German, French, and English and have acted in all of those languages, but I love the American experience.”

“It’s interesting what happens when you take on a role, I think. What happens to me – without sounding too spiritual or too hippy, I guess – what happens, most of the time, you do a lot of research, and you get into the character, and at a certain moment, it’s like the character takes over.”

“At 14, I was modeling, which helped me come out of my shell, but I always dreamed of theater school.”

“I don’t love to generalize, because I think every person has bad and good in them.”

“I’m from a little village in the south of Holland where there was nothing to do but watch American movies and television – I grew up with The ‘A-Team,’ ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ and ‘Edward Scissorhands.'”

“I love pretending more than reality.”

“I love long dinners with friends.”

“I’m not really into trends.”

“I’m not an actor that works in front of a mirror, who tries to repeat her actions or whatever.”

“It sometimes happens that you come out of a scene, and you don’t even know what happened. It’s like you’re in the zone.”

“Being in the camera’s eye is like stepping into a dream world, one that is often more interesting than real life.”

“Where I grew up, there was one supermarket, one school, one hairdresser, and that was it. It was a very small community.”

“I love Tilda Swinton and the way she dresses. She always looks like a piece of art.”

“Denis Villeneuve is such a wonderful filmmaker. I just feel nothing but grateful to have worked with him and to have a chance to learn his language of filming.”

“I want to play so many different characters. I want to, like, understand so many different people, and psychoanalysis, everything. I love that about my job: getting into the character and understanding it and doing the psychoanalysis and creating that character.”

“Being in the camera’s eye is like stepping into a dream world, one that is often more interesting than real life.”

“You have to work your way up – that’s how I was brought up and what I believe in: working hard.”

“I didn’t ‘leave’ Dutch cinema.”

“As a female actress, I didn’t feel the need to be sexy or beautiful.”

Sylvia Hoeks believes in the power of persistence and hard work in everything she does. She has started from quite literally zero to hero in the span of more than ten years.
