From the very beginning, we just sort of made things up together. That’s one of the great things about having a twin brother; you have a sort of feedback loop, where you can bounce things off of each other.
‘Twin Peaks’ is my favorite American TV show.
I’m sure ‘Boxing Helena’ will eclipse ‘Twin Peaks’ and Audrey Home for me. If people here go see it.
One of the only TV shows that I really love is ‘Twin Peaks.’ Kyle McLachlan plays Agent Dale Cooper, and I love Dale Cooper, so I’m in love with Kyle McLachlan. He could be my dad, so it’s really weird.
In sixth grade I had a band called The Blueberry Waterfall. I had borrowed a guy’s Fender Jaguar and Boss Tone Fuzz, which you plugged straight into a Blackface Twin. It was a little power trio – we were actually pretty good for our age.
The day I turned 16, I moved into my own flat. My parents had just broken up, and I didn’t want to go back to Ireland with my mother. I was doing my A-levels, and my friends would come over and watch ‘Twin Peaks.’
I have so many strong opinions on the entertainment industry, but if I’m in a deli somewhere, and someone says they love that Adam Sandler movie where he dresses up as his twin sister – well, I don’t want to make people feel bad for how they feel about things. I’m always courteous, not mean.
Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up.
I have twin sisters who are 12 years younger than me, so watching them grow up has been a big highlight.
It’s the word ‘artful’; it’s such a great word, with its dark and its light side, its art and its cunning, the craft and the crafty of it – I’ve been preoccupied with the word ‘artful’ and the twin notions of ‘cornucopia’ and ‘pickpocket’ it suggests for quite some time.
Twin Peaks’ without David Lynch is like a girl without a secret.
When I was younger, before I was born, I lost my twin, so I think I’ve always had a fascination for telepathy or the way that twins act and react with each other.
I went to my first dinosaur hall with my father and twin brother. We went to the American Museum of Natural History, and I was blown away by the dinosaurs.
It’s no longer unusual for real avant-garde composers to have been in a band, and for bands to be interested in a wide range of music. Look at how artists like Aphex Twin are influenced by Nancarrow and Stockhausen.
I think the amazing thing about ‘Twin Peaks’ was that it completely changed television from that point forward. It showed everyone that you can just sit really quiet with storylines and characters. It can be scary, it can be uncomfortable, it can be weirdly funny.
It’s great to be headlining a big show with my twin brother in Brooklyn.
It occurs to me that, after the huge output of writing I’ve produced over the years, there is a close link between my twin careers as investment executive and financial writer: The power of the word and the power of the book have played a major role in turning my vision… into reality.
Had a dog. I had many. I grew up in rural Washington before I moved to the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and my first dog was – his name first was Bear, but then it changed to Big, and he sort of looked like Old Yeller. And then we also had a three-legged dog named Foxy, who we found because her leg was in a trap.
I deal with the human psychology and evil. They are my twin issues.
It’s weird because we live in this age of reboots. Everything is getting rebooted: ‘The X-Files,’ ‘Twin Peaks.’ We have shows like ‘Gravity Falls’ that were inspired by these shows, that are now ending and being followed up by reboots of the shows that inspired them.
When I got really sick and needed a stem cell transplant, I was fortunate to have a twin sister as the donor.
Nationalism makes us poor because its Siamese twin, protectionism, will destroy the internal market and disrupt international trade.
A lot of people say, ‘Wow, you’re a single father of twin boys, that’s crazy!’ Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, ‘Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,’ it can’t get better.
Evel Knievel bet me $25,000 I couldn’t ride a motorcycle 650 miles from Las Vegas to Twin Falls, Idaho.
I found ‘The Twin’ sitting on a coffee table at a writers’ colony in 2009. It carried praise from J.M. Coetzee. That seemed ample justification for using it to avoid my own writing. I finished it – weeping – a day later, and I’ve been puzzling over its powerful hold on me ever since.
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Me and my twin brother, we always going to ride with each other. We always going to be down for each other, no matter which way it turns.
I had a twin, and he didn’t make it.
As a mature and responsible nation, one of India’s foreign policy interests is to evolve a regional architecture based on the twin principles of shared security and shared prosperity.
I’m 10 minutes older than my twin brother.
I was doing ‘Twin Peaks,’ and Columbia called and said they wanted me to do ‘Gladiator.’ I thought it had the potential to be a real commercial film, so I was like a kid in a candy store.
I know what it’s like listening to Aphex Twin driving down the beach.
It’s just a tremendous feeling that you come from losing your father at 3 years old, to now, you and your twin brother in the NFL. A dream.
‘Twin Peaks’ is a continuing story; that comes from David Lynch and myself.
I was a massive fan of ‘Twin Peaks.’ Massive. I don’t know how any of us grew up in this age of television and weren’t astounded, and saying that, I’m still shocked that that was on network television.
It’s a plus to have a twin sister in the same tournaments.
At the level at which I work with people, their great talent is paired with great insecurity. Self-doubt is literally the twin of self-confidence. And I have to be there for both.
Our astronauts, when they go orbiting around the earth, they actually come back slightly younger than a twin that they would have on the planet Earth who was stationary. This is called the twin paradox.
Now, actually, I can prove the people that I’m an individual; I just don’t have to be a Bella Twin to make a name for myself here. I can be Nikki Bella, Fearless Nikki, and I’ve really enjoyed that.
Being a twin, and being my sister’s twin, is such a defining part of my life that I wouldn’t know how to be who I am, including a writer, without that being somehow at the centre.
I’d watch shows like ‘The Kids in the Hall’ or ‘Twin Peaks,’ and I’d see weird people being celebrated and appreciated without compromising their weirdness. On ‘The Facts of Life,’ I’d see girls who were pudgy, beautiful, popular, tomboyish – many ways of being female – and I’d feel quietly reassured.
I think you can safely say that the mystery in ‘Twin Peaks’ as we started to explore more is very large, there are many aspects to it and the hope is that people will find things that they are interested in in all sorts of things related to the larger mystery.
And Twin Peaks, the Film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground.
