As someone who has been asked to ask David Lynch what his movies mean for 25 years, I’m very careful about asking artists what their art means.

Mean

Even if you’ve gone through an average childhood, you have girlfriends who get pregnant and then have to choose whether or not to have a child. And this stuff certainly makes you think about what you’re taking on. I certainly want to have children, but I could never do it until I felt I loved myself enough, and wanted to bring someone into the world because I had some kind of security.

Children

Girlfriend

Thinking

I do think my mother was a bit overprotective, not in any sordid way, but just normally. She certainly might say to me, “You know, Laura, I don’t have a good feeling about that guy. I don’t know if I want you to go out with him.”

Guy

Mother

Thinking

I don’t care, but I don’t get bitter about anything as long as I can work and do the things I love. And it would be a beautiful world if those things I love and that mean something could remain as they are.

Beautiful

Long

Mean

I don’t turn my nose up at anything. If it’s a great part, it’s a great part. I’d love to do a box-office hit.

Boxes

Noses

Office

I don’t turn my nose up at anything. If it’s a great part, it’s a great part. It’s not like, “I don’t make studio films; I work for David Lynch and maybe a few American Playhouse directors, but that’s it” – I’d love to do a box-office hit.

Film

I feel that movies are gifts that come to you, and there are no accidents in what you end up doing.

I had a good understating about press: that it’s the actor’s responsibility to publicize his or her films, that the press can be fun, that it’s not about hyping yourself into stardom or trying to sell yourself as a hot ticket. I think a lot of young actors now are getting caught up in that.

Fun

Responsibility

Thinking

I hope we can be consummate artists as women or revolutionaries, or whatever women want to be, and also have love, not only for ourselves but from a partner.

Artist

Revolutionary

Want

I just love, I love, I love movies.

Movie Love
