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.

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.

Playing Elizabeth Taylor was probably the hardest job I've ever done.

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.

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

My gift to my children would be from me to be as honest and true to myself as an artist, and put that out there to the best of my ability.

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 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'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.

They've offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
