"I couldn’t get myself to leave the world of Twin Peaks. I was in love with the character of Laura Palmer and her contradictions: radiant on the surface but dying inside. I wanted to see her live, move and talk." - David Lynch

"I never got to be Laura alive, just in flashbacks, it allowed me to come full circle with the character." -Sheryl Lee

"The picture is absolutely amazing, but more amazing is the life of "she" who got to be in this situation. Laura Palmer is, in the end, the dark side of each one of us... Either we live like she did or not. Her message is clear and I think that we should reflect more on it." -Timea Romania

David Lynch notes that TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME is about, "the loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion and devastation of the victim of incest. It also dealt with the torment of the father - the war in him." and Sheryl Lee is proud to have been a part of TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME noting that she "had many people, victims of incest, approach me since the film was released, so glad that it had been made because it helped them to release a lot."

Laura Palmer's legacy bled off-screen and into the reality of victims and TWIN PEAKS fans alike.
