More quotes by 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 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
Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do
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 can sing, but my voice is untrained. Id like to do a musical someday.

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.

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

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

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
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
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 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
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
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.
Sherilyn Fenn
It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
Sherilyn Fenn
At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.
Sherilyn Fenn
I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening
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.
