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.

More quotes by Sherilyn Fenn
The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom.
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
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
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
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
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 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'm not big with an audience I get very nervous.
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'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
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
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
It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.
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.
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
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
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
Now I just feel like I'm more open to life. I have two children.
Sherilyn Fenn
