Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do
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.
When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end.
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.
After I had my son, I found life much funnier and brighter
I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.
I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening
At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.
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
I'm not big with an audience; I get very nervous.
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.
That was cool, getting to work with Ryan Gosling. I knew he was going to be a huge star after I saw him in that Showtime thing that he did when he was really young [The Believer]. I think the most fun thing about that was I'd never seen somebody that had so many questions about the specifics of everything: where you ate, how much you ate, how much you drank. He's very special.
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.
I don't go to parties and all that. I don't think being seen or being in the right place is going to make me a better actress. I care about my work and try to do what's right in my heart.
