A biography for Sylvia Hoekshasn’t been written yet.
“I'm kind of shy.”
“At 14, I was modeling, which helped me come out of my shell, but I always dreamed of theater school.”
“I was shooting a German movie, 'Whatever Happens,' at the time, and I got the call from my agent asking me to self-tape for 'Blade Runner.' That was a no-brainer. I loved the original, and Rutger Hauer was a national hero, and he did such a good job in it.”
“I'm very comfortable with men - they're freer and a lot of fun!”
“As a female actress, I didn't feel the need to be sexy or beautiful.”
“Especially for young girls growing up, it would be lovely to see strong women who don't necessarily need to be sexy or find that interesting. Or have to be the girlfriend or the mother. They can play complex characters that you want to follow and make you believe that you can be strong as well.”
“I worked out six hours a day, six days a week, to get 16 pounds of extra muscle.”
“I love Tilda Swinton and the way she dresses. She always looks like a piece of art.”
“I love pretending more than reality.”
“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 am a fan of dark movies and dark complex characters, and I love to take on a character like that.”
