For me, the key is years of the blessed filmmakers I've worked with giving me permission to be bold and jump off cliffs and to be boundaryless. I would put David Lynch at the top of that list.

It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say.

I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.

I'm a big David Lynch fan.

Part of the reason I actually preferred Twin Peaks's second season to its first was the fascinating spectacle of watching a narrative structure disintegrate and a narrative artist freeze up and try to shuck and jive when the plot reached a point where his own weaknesses as an artist were going to be exposed (just imagine the fear: this disintegration was happening on national TV).

I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'
