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 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.

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

And I learned that it's a bad idea to curse if you're in trouble, but a good idea to sing, if you can.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

The Freedom of Information Act should be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails.

Poverty makes people sub-human Excess of wealth makes people inhuman

There's no stopping a man who knows he's in the right and keeps a-coming.

My former health minister, Kamran Bagheri Lankarani, is like a peach. I love to eat him.

I smoke in moderation. Only one cigar at a time.

I have no truck with lettuce, cabbage, and similar chlorophyll. Any dietitian will tell you that a running foot of apple strudel contains four times the vitamins of a bushel of beans.

It's like the Wild West, the Internet. There are no rules.

I don't want to be the type of person to have my relationships plastered in magazines.
