I see it as a film.
A film in parts is what people will experience.
It was a joyful, fantastic trip with this great crew and cast.
This word expect is a magical word.
People expect things, and their expectations are met when they hopefully see the thing.
We got to know the people of Twin Peaks and got to know this mystery.
… We discovered this world.
And within this world there are other worlds.
Thats how it started.
What makes Mark a good co-writer for him?Mark is very smart.
Were both strong, but both different.
We bring to the table different things, but we each understand the other thing.
Its just a good combo forTwin Peaks.
So whats their process then?We work together on Skype.
Mark lives in Ojai.
I live in Hollywood, and we Skype and write together.
What has he been thinking aboutTwin Peaksover the years?Ive often wondered about this beautiful world and characters.
Mark asked if I wanted to go back to this world.
Thats what got us going again for this one.
Its always a combo.
Its Mark and I working together.
And a great crew and cast.
That for me set the tone.
That made the world and the characters for me.
I felt really good about that.
Did he have any doubts about returning to this world?Always were filled with doubts.
How has the town changed?Its both the same and different.
You go back 25 years in any town [and] its that way.
At one point Lynch declared he was quitting the revival, then returned.
What was that about?Id rather not discuss that.
Ive loved working with [Showtime president David Nevins and his team].
Its been super working with them.
Im very happy being at Showtime.
Any future movies?Im very involved withTwin Peaksright now.
With these characters and these sounds.
Lo and behold, it clicked.
In fact, I couldnt believe the freedom and the things we did.
If you look at the show, its kind of amazing.
Sometimes dialogue had to be changed, but those changes led to a better thing.
We had a lot of freedom.
The revival is supposed to be a complete story.
So no more after that?Well before I said I was never going to revisit it.
So I never said never.
But as of now there are no plans.
Does he remember what his catalyst was for being a filmmaker?No, I dont.
I only wanted to be a painter.
I got into film because I wanted to make paintings move.
Can he talk about bringing back Laura Dern?I love Laura Dern.
What did he think of Frosts book,The Secret History of Twin Peaks?I havent read it.
Itshishistory of Twin Peaks.
Is he aware of the expectations around the new show?Im too in the middle of it.
And I dont go out much …
Thank you all very much and I hope you enjoy Twin Peaks.
And then he was gone.
Star Kyle MacLachlan reassured us: You guys got a lot.
You did really, really well.
He must like you.
