As Twin Peaks returns to TV, its iconic creator has a few things to say about it. Very few things, it turns out.
Twin Peaks has become a common shorthand description for darkly comic and surreal TV shows. Do you see that influence out there in the world?
No. I don’t see it at all.
What do you think people mean when they say something is “like Twin Peaks”?
It probably means something more about the person making the comparison than it does about Twin Peaks.
Do you find it frustrating to be asked questions about Twin Peaks?
Nothing bothers me about it. People want to know. I just can’t tell them.
What would you like to talk about?
I could talk about Transcendental Meditation! The technique is available for all human beings, it makes life better, it gets rid of negativity and brings in more and more positivity until you’re just absolutely packed full of positivity. It brings in the gold and allows you to say good-bye to the garbage. It doesn’t matter what religion you are, how much money you have, how —
I know, I know. I do it.
That’s great, David!
