Apparently I'm the most naked that anyone's been on TNT. My poor mother. I'm ready to run away.

But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character.

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.

Sheryl Lee

It's still difficult for me to watch my work.
Sheryl Lee

My biggest fear in life is fear.
Sheryl Lee

The more we deny that we have a dark side, the more power it has over us.
Sheryl Lee

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.
