People always assume that, if you're an actor who's been on anything from which you're recognisable, that you're making all this money, and it's just not true.

I just turned 30 so I got really introspective as you do, questioning my life. And when I stopped and sort of looked back at the past decade, I realized I had done more work than I thought I had done.

Because Laura Palmer was dead... there was always this strange sense that people were seeing a ghost when they would see me.

I had no idea it was going to be like this. People come up to me all the time, but it's never, 'Oh, you're Sheryl Lee.' It's, 'Oh my gosh, you're Laura Palmer.'

For some weird reason, people have a fascination with Laura Palmer.
