I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.
I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. So it wasn't something I ever seriously considered.
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'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.
I'm not big with an audience; I get very nervous.
You say a line and you wait for them to laugh, then you say another line and you wait... It felt weird to me. But it's interesting and the energy is almost like theatre, I suppose, with all the people there
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.
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!"
I can sing, but my voice is untrained. Id like to do a musical someday.
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.
It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
They're pushing me to do Howard. Howard's a trip. My friend made me watch the Lesbian Love Connection and I was like, Oh God, get me out of here!
People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex,
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.
