The studios have their list of five actresses and whether they're right or wrong for a role doesn't matter. It's how much money their last movie made.

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.

Remembered pain tightened his mouth into a grim line. The weeks he’d spent looking for her had left permanent scars on his heart.

If we are of one mind, thousands can be conquered.If we are of one heart, millions can be conquered.If we are of one soul, countless can be conquered.

While it is OK to give school children prizes for 'effort' - my kids get them all the time - I think international statesmen should probably be held to a higher standard.

I had a lot of expectations placed on me because I was already having some success with my short stories. That was not a good situation to be in. That by itself took a long time to overcome.

Race and class are the easiest divisions. It's very stupid

He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself.

Pioneering in space was something I would willingly give my life for.

I love Ice Cube and Charlie Day. They're brilliant men, great actors and very funny people.

Jesus is all we have; he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!
