When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end.
After I had my son, I found life much funnier and brighter
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
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 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.
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.
We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon
Harrison Ford... I love him. He's a man's man.
I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.
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.
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
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.
