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.

More quotes by 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.

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
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.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique

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

Talking to fans has really blown my mind. It's made me so happy to know my work has touched people.

Whatever the future holds I'm not really sure.

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 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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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

I'm not big with an audience I get very nervous.

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

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

Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.

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.
