Being a mother for me was like, "Oh, this is what I've been looking for my whole life." This brings me a sense of completion. I never knew I would love this deeply.

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 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 am anxious to see what life is going to bring next.

I'd moved to L.A. with my mother when I was 17 or 18. She loved show business and I was young enough that I had no idea what I wanted to do.

It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.

Even if your work touches one person, that's an amazing gift.
