I'm 51 now, so there are less roles available.

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.

Never be too angry beyond repairs. Anger is nothing good to be part of your tributes. Are you angry with someone? The sun is sinking, just drop it now.

We are oblivious to suffering. We are cheap with charity if it's not close to our home.

When we look from the bottom of a well, sky shines more beautifully than from the surface! Heaven is a Double-Heaven in the Hell!

I smell varmint poontang. And the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang, I think.

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it.

I wanted all of her and resented other boys for wanting any part of her.

No enterprise, small or large, public or private, can remain self-governing, let alone successful, so deeply in hock to others as we are about to be.

Patriarchy is based on appropriating rights and leaving responsibility to others.

Over the years, a number of very smart people have learned the hard way that a long string of impressive numbers multiplied by a single zero always equals zero.
