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!

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.

The only way to avoid failure is to sit in a corner and do nothing.

To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.

I didn't work especially hard at mathematics at school, because I knew that's what I'd be doing later.

There are not millions of deaths. It happens millions of times that someone dies.

The best thing I can do for you is to love you.

Churches are like announcement factories that pump toxic levels of noise pollution into the atmosphere.

At some point in time, in the future, people are going to refer to the Step Up films as the films they grew up on. Hopefully, that inspires them to get in dance films that are being made.

Without a commitment to science and rationality in its proper domain, there can be no solution to the problems that engulf us. Still, the Yahoos never rest.

A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.

If I'm elected president, we will secure the border. We will triple the border patrol. We will build a wall that works and I'll get Donald Trump to pay for it.
