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.
When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end.
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.
I don't want my body to look like a man's. I just want to tone my body.
People who think they know me would be surprised that my whole life doesn't revolve around sex,
They're pushing me to do Howard. Howard's a trip. My friend made me watch the Lesbian Love Connection and I was like, Oh God, get me out of here!
It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
My mother's been married many, many times and grew up believing in love like that. It's remarkable.
The difference between working with a man and a woman... is immense.
The world has certain rules - Hollywood has certain rules - but it doesn't mean you have to play by them, and I don't, or I'd be a miserable person.
I see people giving me looks because I'm so opinionated. That hurts my feelings, but at the end of the day I have to live with me and respect myself. And I've done enough things in my life where I was confused and didn't respect myself that I will not do it any more.
I remember my agent at the time called me and was like, "I've got it! I've found it! I've found your role!" I worked my ass off to get that role, because I think me and three or four other girls tested for it. But it was a great time.
