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.

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

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

Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.
Sherilyn Fenn
It was just this sudden call like it was an emergency. Quick! You have to go do this... because it's Friends! I was just, Oh, my God, okay!
Sherilyn Fenn
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.

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

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.

People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex.

For me acting is pretending. It's illuminating my human struggle - trying to grow and have the courage to be filmed while figuring things out.

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.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.

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.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
I see people giving me looks because I'm so opinionated. That hurts my feelings, but at the end of the day I have to live with me and respect myself. And I've done enough things in my life where I was confused and didn't respect myself that I will not do it any more.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.
