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.

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

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

Greatness is bought with time and so is financial prosperity.

Whatever God's Word says I am - that's what I am! Whatever His Word says I can do - with His help I can do! Whatever His Word says He will do - He will do!

I want to play roles that I'm proud of, that I feel a certain integrity about, and I want to continue to be truthful in the work that I do.

The heart of the human problem, is the problem of the human heart.

The stars are not the limit.
