ADD QUOTES
- Kyle MacLachlan: The difference with doing a play is that you are in control of that role. In film you give your performance to the best of your ability, and then you are in the hands of the director and the editor and the producer and there's not much you can do about it.

- Kyle MacLachlan: (when asked if it's true that David Lynch didn't think people cared who killed Laura Palmer?) Absolutely. David loved the investigative element of that show. He thought it was much more interesting to investigate than to solve the mystery. Agent Cooper liked the investigation so much that he didn't care if someone confessed. David was actually surprised when he found that people did care.

- Kyle MacLachlan: (talking about "Showgirls") Oh, that was a horrible movie. I was so disappointed, I was embarrassed. It was a real lesson for me in going to look at the dailies and seeing remarkable stuff, and then seeing it all put together.
