My workout is my meditation.
To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.'
One of the things that I learned in television, and one of the beauties of television, is that, if you have a strong writing staff, they rely on you just as much as you rely on them. They look to me or the other actors to help inspire them to take the character in interesting directions.
Helmut Lang does a lot of very military-influenced things. You have to find the designer that suits your body the best, and he works for me.
For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you're hung out to dry. It's like being a mink.
I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.
I've had a chance to really stretch and do a lot of different genres. When I started acting, my whole focus and intention was to work as a stage actor in a company where you're asked to different roles - do a comedy, do a tragedy, etc. I haven't had any reservations about jumping from one type of genre to another.
Apparently, when Twin Peaks was on the air in Spain, something like 50 percent of televisions were tuned to it.
1974 meant big cuffs, bell-bottoms, platform shoes with two-tone colors, and body-conscious shirts.
I garden a lot in LA, so fashion consists of boots, work pants and T-shirts, unless I'm going out.
I really fight for my privacy.
As an actor, you're always in situations that can be compromising. But you can wipe away that gray area by making a choice.

I'd like to do more Shakespeare. I'd like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul
