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

More quotes by Sherilyn Fenn
Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.
Sherilyn Fenn
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 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.
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?
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
Talking to fans has really blown my mind. It's made me so happy to know my work has touched people.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
I can sing, but my voice is untrained. Id like to do a musical someday.
Sherilyn Fenn
It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
Sherilyn Fenn
They've offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun.
Sherilyn Fenn
Playing Elizabeth Taylor was probably the hardest job I've ever done.
Sherilyn Fenn
I'd moved to L.A. with my mother when I was 17 or 18. She loved show business and I was young enough that I had no idea what I wanted to do.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
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
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
