My gift to my children would be from me to be as honest and true to myself as an artist, and put that out there to the best of my ability.

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.

My mother's been married many, many times and grew up believing in love like that. It's remarkable.

It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.

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.

I'm not big with an audience; I get very nervous.

I'm contemplating moving to London for a period of time. I've been in Los Angeles for 15 years and I'm really tired of it. I'm continually uninspired by what's being sent to me. Even by huge films that they're doing there. They're just awful.
