The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience.

You get all the puzzle parts together enough to say the puzzle is complete. It's a script. In the process of realizing that, new ideas can come, one way or another. Through a happy accident, they just come to you.

Music has fed me a lot of ideas... The film BLUE VELVET came out of Bobby Vinton's version of the song BLUE VELVET.

Two half hitches around the horn will hold the devil as sure as you're born.

Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity.

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.

It's a simple thing he [Frank Daniel] taught me. If you want to make a feature film, you get ideas for 70 scenes. Put them on 3-by-5 cards. As soon as you have 70, you have a feature film.

But if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding when you look out, more awareness when you wake up, more wakefulness as you go about your day, more inner happiness.

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?

Man is evolving...but it's difficult to see his progress with a Western perception of time. The Hindus think of time in much larger segments. They watch the hour hand of the clock while we in the West are preoccupied with the second hand.

I have been 'diving within' through the Transcendental Meditation technique for over 30 years. It has changed my life, my world. I am not alone. Millions of other people of all ages, religions, and walks of life practice the technique and enjoy incredible benefits.

In my mind it's so much fun to have something that has clues and is mysterious - something that is understood intuitively rather than just being spoon-fed to you. That's the beauty of cinema, and it's hardly ever even tried. These days, most films are pretty easily understood, and so people's minds stop working.

Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound. Sometimes sound even overplays the visual.

Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

A lot of painters listen to music, I think, while they paint. But I hate to do that. It's a horror. I can't really listen to the music. I'm not really concentrating on it, and I'm not really concentrating on the painting.

I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.

My rule of thumb is, what Siskel and Ebert like, I don't, and vice versa.
David Lynch
Image
Don't make a film if it can't be the film you want to make. It's a joke, and a sick joke, and it'll kill you.

The side effect of expanding consciousness is that negativity starts to evaporate it goes away like darkness when you turn on a light.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.
