About working with David Lynch in "Twin Peaks" (1990) and Wild at Heart (1990) - I've been wrapped in plastic on a beach, I've imitated a bird (Waldo), I've come back as my lookalike cousin, and for Wild at Heart (1990) I hung 60 feet above the ground by piano wire to play a good witch who floats down the sky.
