As for 'Twin Peaks,' I'm happy to have been a part of something that was a success. The only time I was concerned was during the second season when it started to lose its focus, and I was thinking, 'What if I get stuck here for five years? I would go crazy.'

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

Work Trust Peace

I'm a walking contradiction. I am funny that way.

The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom. And as much as the youth-glorifying Hollywood would like us to believe, it's nothing. They're wrong.

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!

You Guys You Years

Every time I think I'd want a huge, huge career, I realize I'd go crazy under that kind of scrutiny.

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

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

I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening.

Sometimes I'm like Dory from 'Finding Nemo.' I can't remember facts.

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.

Change Win Weird

On screen chemistry can be very different from off screen chemistry.

There will only ever be one Prince.

It was just a fairly normal high school existence, riding our bikes around and hanging out in parks and down in the village.

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

Love Son Man

Having my son, it's such a sense of completion as a woman; it's put me at peace.

Sherilyn Fenn

Peace Woman T

I hope maybe somehow I won't be in this business all my life, and I won't be one of those women that's trying to, you know, save what she looks like... My work is about something completely different. It's about what's inside.

Sherilyn Fenn

Work Women Men

It's one thing to play a character that's fictitious - it's quite another to play somebody that is alive and well.

Sherilyn Fenn

Well Us Thing

Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men-they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.

Sherilyn Fenn

Women Society Men

I've always been aware of the emphasis on beauty in Hollywood, and I think that as one does get older, it can be scary.

The difference between working with a man and a woman... is immense.

Sherilyn Fenn

When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end.

Sherilyn Fenn

I'm sure 'Boxing Helena' will eclipse 'Twin Peaks' and Audrey Home for me. If people here go see it.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.

Sherilyn Fenn

Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.

Sherilyn Fenn

I gained 50 pounds when I was carrying my baby.

Sherilyn Fenn

I'm very strong and very confident.

Sherilyn Fenn

I've had a very specific path over the years. Sometimes they're not all we want them to be, but they create who we are.

Sherilyn Fenn

I've worked with some people that just spent hours and hours and hours in the mirror, and just so much importance is based on that. And I do find that sad.

Sherilyn Fenn

I began to use my sensitivity. And I realized I wasn't weird because I cried a lot.

Sherilyn Fenn

When I was little, I didn't have dreams to be an actress or a star; I wanted to be a mom, have a house and a picket fence.

Sherilyn Fenn

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

Sherilyn Fenn

I like people that are real people. Real people are broad; they make mistakes.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

Sherilyn Fenn

I loved doing 'Gilmore Girls.' I love Amy Sherman-Palladino. I'd do anything with her.

Sherilyn Fenn

At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.

Sherilyn Fenn

I don't want my body to look like a man's. I just want to tone my body.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

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?

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

I was told once that I didn't play the Hollywood game, and that's why I wasn't a big star. What they meant when was that I don't go to parties, and when I go to an audition and I don't like the script, they know it.

Sherilyn Fenn

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.

Sherilyn Fenn

It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
