If something scares me, then I have to do it.

Those of us who were on 'Twin Peaks' can very easily make fun of it, but we get along really well, and we have a playful energy together.

There's something about death. It's like trying to understand our own mortality and immortality. That's why society is so into things like vampires, because they don't die. Well, why don't they die?

Animals weren't put on this earth to entertain us.

I've always had a fascination with vampires. It's not that I'm exactly fascinated with the dark side. It's the human struggle with it. How we deal with those two aspects of who we are. We all have those elements.

I know if somebody played me, I'd want to check her out.

I'm fascinated with all kinds of religion, but I'm not committed to any specific one.

My doctor suggested doing some blood tests and immediately discovered that my white blood cell count was low. So then I went through many more tests including bone marrow biopsies until they figured out that I had neutropenia.

I remembered their songs but I had never owned a Beatles album.

Because Laura Palmer was dead... there was always this strange sense that people were seeing a ghost when they would see me.

It's awkward: Here you are with most of your clothes off in bed with this person who you've really just met. You're strangers to each other's bodies and you're coming together for the first time in front of all these people.

From the age of 40, I went through illness for four and a half years. I tried to keep working through it as much as I could, but I was physically not able to do it as much, and if you look sick, it's hard to get a job.

Most actors I'm in touch with are struggling financially.

You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.

And in the middle of one of those scenes, I suddenly felt my heart just open: it was overwhelming, to the point where I got teary-eyed. Never would I have thought anything like that could happen in a love scene.

Apparently I'm the most naked that anyone's been on TNT. My poor mother. I'm ready to run away.

I just found out last week - my sister told me - that my father had some Beatles records. So I must have heard them quite a bit, but it never registered, really. Now I listen to them with new ears.

I just turned 30 so I got really introspective as you do, questioning my life. And when I stopped and sort of looked back at the past decade, I realized I had done more work than I thought I had done.

I would love to play a nun. I used to want to be one when I was a kid.

It's still difficult for me to watch my work.

My biggest fear in life is fear.

If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear.

Twin Peaks' without David Lynch is like a girl without a secret.

Well, there's two things that happen when people experience something, whether it's a song, a television show, a film, a book or any piece of art. It connects them to a certain part of their life and whatever was going on at that time in their life.

David Lynch is a very kind and warm-hearted man. I really think he's brilliant.

Someday I'd love to come back and start a theater company in Boulder. That would be a dream come true.

I have a thing about angels. I believe in them. I feel like I have a guardian angel. I think everybody has one.

I just wanted to work with David Lynch.

I loved 'Blue Velvet.'

I was the kind of kid, I'd sit in the back row of the class with my head practically under the desk. I was incredibly afraid of people and very shy.

I don't go to regular music festivals because I tend to run in the opposite direction wherever there's big crowds.
