I would go home with the bruised make-up on and not think about it.
I just wanted to get home. I'd leave with the pretend bruises on my face.
I would stop at the gas station
and they were looking at me like, "Oh, poor woman."
You know, "Can I have $20 on pump four?"
"Yeah."
You know, I'd be walking down the mall
and they would hand me abuse hotline cards.
I'd say, "Thank you, but I'm not really abused.
"I'll pass it on to somebody that needs it."
There are some people that don't...
they can't separate the individual from the character.
I went home to Reno one time and the show was airing.
I was visiting my parents, and we went into a department store
and a lady that was working there said,
"You're Shelly Johnson from 'Twin Peaks'.
"You're on tonight. Why are you here?"
I said, "Well, we filmed that six months ago, you know?"
I guess she thought it was live.
"What are you doing here? You're on in three hours!"
