‘Twin Peaks’ is a continuing story; that comes from David Lynch and myself.
A utility can handle up to 20% of production from solar and that helps the grid because it produces electricity when needed. Solar power peaks in the middle of the day and that’s also when air conditioning is running and businesses are operating, so power production matches usage.
‘Twin Peaks’ is like a movie; ‘China Beach’ is like a movie. These are two of the most cinematic shows on television, and they belong together.
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.
When you go through a tournament of seven games, there are peaks and valleys. You kind of ride the players that are hot.
Gravity Falls’ has so much inspiration that comes from ‘Twin Peaks,’ the idea of Agent Cooper being the one to drive Dipper and Mabel home made me feel like, yeah, they’re going to be all right.
Some bands I’m obsessed with but I get sick of listening to their music after a while, but that hasn’t happened with Twin Peaks.
When the audience first sees Cooper talking into his tape recorder at the beginning of ‘Twin Peaks,’ I think that’s the greatest introduction to a character I’ve seen in my career. It tells you everything about the guy right there in a few minutes as well as bringing up a whole load of questions.
I became famous for the fact that I would break many, many limits. People said, ‘He does all these crazy things.’ But oddly it was a crazy thing only because scientists and climbers said, ‘Everest and the 8,000-meter peaks without oxygen – impossible. Messner is becoming sick in his head.’
Twin Peaks’ without David Lynch is like a girl without a secret.
I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider. It was difficult publishing a novel the first time around, while working behind the scenes, knowing all that has to happen to make a book a success and to still make the leap as an author.
Youngsters are going to have peaks and troughs, as Alvaro Morata did, on their way to maturity.
The moment we realize that the only things we can intelligibly value are actual and potential changes in the experience of conscious beings, we can think about a landscape of such changes – where the peaks correspond to the greatest possible well-being and the valleys correspond to the lowest depths of suffering.
On all the peaks lies peace.
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.
I would love to be on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ I’d love to be on that. A lot of my favorite shows get canceled really early on. I liked ‘Twin Peaks.’ If I had a time machine I’d be in that.
Everybody has their own path. Everybody peaks at different times.
As you go through life, you’ve got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.
I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I’m a weird kind of animal.
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.
There are obviously peaks and valleys in everyone’s career. This business can be a roller-coaster ride, and it’s really hard to stay on top all the time. Very few people do.
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.
Business cycles naturally entail peaks and troughs in employment, and socially responsible businesses should follow successful examples like Coca-Cola, Alcoa, Saudi Aramco, Africa Rainbow Minerals, and Google in working toward mitigating joblessness and enhancing people’s abilities to earn a livelihood.
It’s been a career filled with very low valleys and some wonderful, high peaks.
Art is all about giving yourself these terrifying challenges, these peaks to climb. You’re at the bottom of the mountain at the start of every new project thinking, ‘Am I going to make it?’
My valleys are higher than most people’s peaks. I stay at that level.
I’ll tell you, ‘Fire Walk With Me’ is the one for ‘Twin Peaks’ fans. It’s much more haunted than the TV series.
My father blamed me for my brother Gunther’s death, for not bringing him home. He died in an avalanche as we descended from the summit of Nanga Parbat, one of the 14 peaks over 8,000m, in 1970. Gunther and I did so much together. It was difficult for my father to understand what it was like up there.
That’s how life is: there are peaks and valleys in life, and that’s how I like to write songs.
In a sense, ‘Twin Peaks’ never really went away. They’ve got a ‘Twin Peaks’ convention up in Washington every year, and I’m pretty much recognized on a fairly regular basis from ‘Twin Peaks,’ so I feel like it never really got too far away.
You watch guys live through their peaks, and then unfortunately, you’ve got to come down from that peak.
People think this is easy to be a football player. They only see the summit but they don’t see the ascent, which is far longer and tougher than the career peaks. And there are so few of us to reach the summits. Some might earn €305,000 per month but there are a lot more for whom life is hell.
I really loved Twin Peaks. When I saw the two-hour pilot, they screened it in the big theatre. I said, I don’t know what is going to happen. I’m in this and I don’t understand it. This is never going to sell. Who’s going to watch this thing?
