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.
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 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.
Society has a fascination with death.
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.
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 highly recommend tantric sex workshops.
I did a few independent films, but there is no money in them.
Because Laura Palmer was dead... there was always this strange sense that people were seeing a ghost when they would see me.
David Lynch saw my picture in a casting agent's office in Seattle. I got a call to see him, and the rest is history.
Salome's of royal blood. She knows whatever she asks she's going to get.
I know if somebody played me, I'd want to check her out.
I had a little house, and I sold that and moved into a condo, then sold the condo... I kept downsizing and downsizing.
I went into dancing but damaged my knees so decided to become an actress instead.
Most actors I'm in touch with are struggling financially.
When I was a kid, we played outside until we couldn't see and had to go in. I rode my bicycle and played tag football, kick the can, and hide-and-go-seek.
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'm fascinated with all kinds of religion, but I'm not committed to any specific one.
