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

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

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.

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.'
