A filmmaker doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don't have to die to shoot a death scene.

More quotes by David Lynch
The greatest thing my father left me was a love for cutting wood - my love for sawing, especially pine wood.
David Lynch
Cigarettes are pretty much my worst vice, and I even stopped smoking for 20 years. I spend most of my free time with my family and working on art.
David Lynch
There is an ocean of creativity within every human being.
David Lynch
I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.
David Lynch
I like people who, you know, as you go along in life, you know, a thing happens, and people become a seeker. They look for something to give them the path to their full potential. I like them to know about transcendental mediation, but they've got to make up their own mind to take it and use it.
David Lynch
Everyone's got consciousness.. . Grow that ball of consciousness and all avenues of life improve. Your work just blossoms.
David Lynch
The interesting thing that happens for many people when they first start meditating is that they'll be doing it for a few months, and they will begin to change, but the experience is so subtle that they're not even aware of it.
David Lynch
Mankind was not meant to suffer -- bliss is our nature. The individual is cosmic. Let's rock.
David Lynch
When you have something that brings a real emotion, that's the power of cinema.
David Lynch
I love paint. I like watercolours. I like acrylic paint... a little bit. I like house paint. I like oil-based paint, and I love oil paint. I love the smell of turpentine and I like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.
David Lynch
The more you meditate the better life gets.
David Lynch
Anger, stress, tension, depression, sorrow, hate, fear - these things start to retreat. And for a filmmaker, having this negativity lift away is money in the bank. When you're suffering you can't create.
David Lynch
I think true love is not only true personal love but totality of love, universal love - to be in love with everything manifest and everything unmanifest.
David Lynch
There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.
David Lynch
Angelo Badalamenti brought me into the world of music and that's really what gave me permission to get into it even though I'm not a musician. It's just an intuitive thing for me.
David Lynch
I think part of the reason ideas haven't come in is that the world of cinema is changing so drastically, and in a weird way, feature films I think have become cheap. Everything is kind of throwaway. It's experienced and then forgotten.
David Lynch
I'm not really into vinyl. There's something about that raw, birth of rock and roll feel that makes me crazy.
David Lynch
I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!
David Lynch
In film, life-and-death struggles make you sit up, lean forward a little bit. They amplify things happening, in smaller ways, in all of us. These things show up in relationships. They show up in struggles and bring them to a critical point.
David Lynch
I have a profound admiration for Fellini. I met him lately and he's just fantastic. I feel very close to him even though he's very Italian. But his films could have been made in every country. When I say, I feel close to him, then also because we're both born on January 20th.
