After I had my son, I found life much funnier and brighter
I want to learn to laugh and smile more. My acting has always been about doing things that I can grow from, that say something, or should be heard.
There is something at work that's bigger than us. It's about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it, and then you don't worry or agonize about the outcome
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 said, "Oh well, I'll act." I started to study, but I didn't know what I was doing, and I don't know that I was taking it very seriously then.
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.
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.
I like taking risks and I decided to put every bit of me into the role.
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
We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon
Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.
Harrison Ford... I love him. He's a man's man.
