More quotes by 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
It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.
Sherilyn Fenn
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.
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.
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.

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.

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
At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.

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
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
Whatever the future holds I'm not really sure.
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
Even if your work touches one person, that's an amazing gift.
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 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
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
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
Sherilyn Fenn
Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.
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.

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.
