Every actress has a line she'll draw, where she'll say, 'This I will do and this I won't.' For me, everything has to be important to the story and the director has to be able to tell me why.

I grew up in Colorado - went back there, tried to heal myself and grow and learn, then got a call that David Lynch wanted me to fly back to Seattle so he could meet me for Twin Peaks.

The more we deny that we have a dark side, the more power it has over us.

It's almost as if we each have a vampire inside us. Controlling that beast, that dark side, is what fascinates me.

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

But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character.

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

My biggest fear in life is fear.

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

Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.

You have to be comfortable in the uncomfortableness.

Balance is not to be sought by association with others; it must exist within one's self.

Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.

And then after that, running around the bases, it was just one of those things. You couldn't believe what happened to you. And I look back on it, it's almost like it happened to somebody else.

Maybe I'm not going to be able to do a deal with Russia, but at least I will have tried. And if I don't, does anybody really think that Hillary Clinton would be tougher on Russia than Donald Trump?

When you ask people, 'What's the opposite of fragile?,' they tend to say robust, resilient, adaptable, solid, strong. That's not it. The opposite of fragile is something that gains from disorder.

The ideal story is that of two people who go into love step for step, with a fluttered consciousness, like a pair of children venturing together into a dark room.
