A biography for Sheryl Leehasn’t been written yet.
“You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.”
“Those of us who were on 'Twin Peaks' can very easily make fun of it, but we get along really well, and we have a playful energy together.”
“I remembered their songs but I had never owned a Beatles album.”
“Most actors I'm in touch with are struggling financially.”
“I went into dancing but damaged my knees so decided to become an actress instead.”
“I have to be very aware of how I manage my health. I still have relapses if I push myself too hard and my immune system can't handle it.”
“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'm grateful for anything that brings me back to Colorado.”
“I was just this kid from Colorado studying theater, and suddenly I was on a hit TV show.”
“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.”
“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 don't go to regular music festivals because I tend to run in the opposite direction wherever there's big crowds.”
“I want to watch my son grow up. I want to spend time with my family. There's a lot of the world that I want to see and experience.”
“I did a few independent films, but there is no money in them.”
“I would love to play a nun. I used to want to be one when I was a kid.”
“I love directors who aren't going back to the stereotypes, who are helping write and create roles for women that are not in the typical Hollywood box. I'm very, very interested in films that are going outside of stereotypical roles for women.”
“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?”
“I have a thing about angels. I believe in them. I feel like I have a guardian angel. I think everybody has one.”
“I'm starting to understand why certain people in the entertainment business reach a point where they say, 'I'm not going to do any more interviews.' I definitely understand that.”
“I love being directed, and I feel so grateful to be able to get to work with some of the directors I've worked with.”
