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 loved working on Of Mice and Men. It was a wonderful group of people. John Malkovich is to me one of the best actors around right now-and a lot of fun to work with.

I'm 51 now, so there are less roles available.

Harrison Ford... I love him. He's a man's man.

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

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.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do
