I said, "Oh well, I'll act." I started to study, but I didn't know what I was doing, and I don't know that I was taking it very seriously then.

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.

Don't miss the beauty behind otherwise your whole race will end up with wasting time running on trademill.

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.

Who do you serve? Do you serve somebody? I serve the poem, no one.

The unifying thread through all these different aspects of music business is just my attraction toward working with sounds and designing new scary, evil, dark sounds.

Anybody can be hurt. This is boxing.

Why does naming a thing give it so much power?

It was not easy for a person brought up in the ways of classical thermodynamics to come around to the idea that gain of entropy eventually is nothing more nor less than loss of information.

Now I'm starting to jog. But every time I do jog I have 9-1 pressed into my phone, with the next '1' ready to be launched in case I drop.

I feel safe when I'm on the racetrack, I really do. I know that I'm surrounded by the best drivers in the world. That's something you can't say when you're driving down the interstate.

I've experienced the tabloids when I had anorexia.
