I am anxious to see what life is going to bring next.

Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early 90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique

I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening

Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.

I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.

Even if your work touches one person, that's an amazing gift.

I think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen

Now I know why guys like to hug girls. You guys just want to cop a feel. I can't believe that I've fallen for it all these years!

I'm honest. I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

I loved working on Of Mice and Men. It was a wonderful group of people. John Malkovich is to me one of the best actors around right now-and a lot of fun to work with.

Make films that purify the soul with the flow of rational, vigorous and compassionate thinking.

You can't heal hurt with hate.

Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.

The bags that teachers carry home symbolize their guilt about the endless care they have to give.

Preaching for life changes requires far less information and more application. Less explanation and more inspiration.

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.

For it is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than is Disneyland.

Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.

We have hearing aids in order to fix our ears. We have lasik surgery in order to fix our eyes. People ... you can't fix stupid!

To perceive is to categorize, to conceptualize is to categorize, to learn is to form categories, to make decisions is to categorize.
