 Generally, Hollywood makes the same stories over and over. I've never wanted to do the same thing twice. If a script doesn't surprise me in some way, I simply can't commit to the project. |
| I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening. |
| 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 think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen. |
| I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell. |
| At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary. |
| We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon. |
| It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic. |
| It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger. |
| When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end. |
| I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes. |
| Now I know why guys like to hug girls. You guys just want to cop a feel. I can't believe that I've fallen for it all these years! |
| 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. |
| Harrison Ford... I love him. He's a man's man. |
| Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do. |
| I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. So it wasn't something I ever seriously considered. |
| Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot. |
| The difference between working with a man and a woman... is immense. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
