“David Lynch’s set is different than anyone else. He creates a little world, or a ‘bubble.’ He gathered us all together and said we are going to do a scene that has to do with Tibet. He explained a little bit and I didn’t understand, even though I had been reading a Joseph Campbell book. He was talking about something more advanced than my evolution, but it created an atmosphere of palpable magic. If you had the right eyes, you could see the sparkling energy within the bubble.” — Kimmy Robertson, Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks
"I just remember reading it and going, 'No.' It was the only time I ever went to David and Mark and said, 'There's no way.' They said, 'But we have to have you there. Can you make an announcement for your dad's business?' And I said fine. That's why I wasn't up there. It was dumb. I hated the whole second season."

"For me, every episode we were on television was kind of a miracle." — Mädchen Amick, Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks
“I didn’t really want to do any kind of TV series at all. But quickly figured this might be a chance to work with David on a great little movie and not be obligated beyond the initial two hours. There was just no fucking way any broadcast network in those days would ever give this sublime mayhem a slot on their schedule.”
— Michael Ontkean, Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks
"It was lovely working with David. He would go to each actor in a scene and he would have a word for you, a private magical word, and it was yours to use. It was kind of like a secret and it would be completely unexpected and often I would read a scene on the page and think this is hilarious and he would see it completely differently. He would see the horror and the pain and the sorrow and grief in something and take you to that place and yet, you would still see the humor." — Wendy Robie, Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks
"Playing Laura was a very painful place to live for a long time. It’s hard, in acting school they teach you how to develop a character but they don’t teach you how to let a character go.” — Sheryl Lee, Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks
