Quote

I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.

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 got Twin Peaks, and the part was basically written for me, which was a really big shock. I think everything really changed with the right teacher coming together, but before that I worked with Sondra Seacat she's amazing and very spiritual, but I hadn't worked with her on specific roles. I just was in classes with her.

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.

If you're a young woman in Hollywood, then they want you to look a certain way and paint you in this and that. To this day, it's hard to find people like us, who want to kind of find deep truths, not just skirt above the top of it.

The studios have their list of five actresses and whether they're right or wrong for a role doesn't matter. It's how much money their last movie made.

I don't know why people see the things that they do. I wouldn't pay to see them, they don't touch me or move me in any way.

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.

It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.
