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

It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.

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.

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

Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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

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 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.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do

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!

It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.
