Quote

Generally, Hollywood makes the same stories over and over. I've never wanted to do the same thing twice. If a script doesn't surprise me in some way, I simply can't commit to the project.

The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom.

Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.

Boxing Helena was something that I think was pretty cool, but people judged it without even having seen it. It's not perfect, but I think for the story that we were trying to tell, it turned out pretty good. What it signified was really powerful to me: how society puts us in boxes one way or another.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique

I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have that in me to do it, the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. If there's a lot of people on a set, I get nervous. So music just wasn't something I ever seriously considered.

Even if your work touches one person, that's an amazing gift.

I really loved Twin Peaks. When I saw the two-hour pilot, they screened it in the big theatre. I said, I don't know what is going to happen. I'm in this and I don't understand it. This is never going to sell. Who's going to watch this thing?

I remember my agent at the time called me and was like, I've got it! I've found it! I've found your role! I worked my ass off to get that role, because I think me and three or four other girls tested for it. But it was a great time.

People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex.
Sherilyn Fenn
Image
I'm honest. I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

Image
I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. Id like to do a musical someday.

I'm not big with an audience I get very nervous.

Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early 90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.

Being a mother for me was like, Oh, this is what I've been looking for my whole life. This brings me a sense of completion. I never knew I would love this deeply.

I'm contemplating moving to London for a period of time. I've been in Los Angeles for 15 years and I'm really tired of it. I'm continually uninspired by what's being sent to me. Even by huge films that they're doing there. They're just awful.

There is something at work that's bigger than us. It's about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it, and then you don't worry or agonize about the outcome

At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.
