More quotes by David Lynch
It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.
David Lynch
The feature film has changed a lot. Art houses are gone and people show a certain type of cinema in the big theaters now that, you know, it's not quite really good for me, and if I made a feature film, I was think I'd play in LA and New York for a week, and then go right to television.
David Lynch
You've got to let accidents and strange things happen - let it work, so it's got an organic sort of quality ... By trying to remove yourself you can see some fantastic things sometimes.
David Lynch
To make the script, you need ideas, and for me a lot of times, a final script is made up of many fragments of ideas that came at different times.
David Lynch
It's important to listen to lots of different genres because you never know when something will get born out of it.
David Lynch
Everybody's got creativity. Dive within to the ocean of infinite creativity.
David Lynch
Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity.
David Lynch
If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.
David Lynch
Intuition is knowingness, and this field of unbounded knowing, of knowingness, is within every human being. You start tapping into that and it becomes an ocean of solutions.
David Lynch
Chrysta Bell looks like a dream and Chrysta Bell sings like a dream. And the dream is coming true.
David Lynch
I quit smoking in December. I’m really depressed about it. I love smoking, I love fire, I miss lighting cigarettes. I like the whole thing about it, to me it turns into the artist’s life, and now people like Bloomberg have made animals out of smokers, and they think that if they stop smoking everyone will live forever.
David Lynch
I have to make what I see, whether it's a painting, a table, or a movie, or it's like a death and what would be the point of that?
David Lynch
I like things that go into hidden, mysterious places, places I want to explore that are very disturbing. In that disturbing thing, there is sometimes tremendous poetry and truth.
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
When you practice Transcendental Meditation you are given a key to the deepest level of life.
David Lynch
The technology can change, but storytelling remains the same. It's just a digital world now instead of an analog world, but now the storytelling's the same. You got different tools. That's all.
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
When you get an idea and you fall in love with it there's not a whole lot of choice. You're going down a street and you meet this girl and you know it doesn't have to make any sense. Bingo! You're in love.
David Lynch
I would rather not make a film than make one where I don't have final cut.
David Lynch
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.
David Lynch
