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?

More quotes by David Lynch
Music has fed me a lot of ideas... The film BLUE VELVET came out of Bobby Vinton's version of the song BLUE VELVET.
David Lynch
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.
David Lynch
Unfortunately, my ideas are not what you'd call commercial, and money really drives the boat these days. So I don't know what my future is. I don't have a clue what I'm going to be able to do in the world of cinema.
David Lynch
I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.
David Lynch
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
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
Mankind was not meant to suffer -- bliss is our nature. The individual is cosmic. Let's rock.
David Lynch
The worst thing about this modern world is that people think you get killed on television with zero pain and zero blood. It must enter into kids' heads that it's not very messy to kill somebody, and it doesn't hurt that much. That's a real sickness to me. That's a real sick thing.
David Lynch
I felt I should have been the happiest person in the world. But I looked inside, and that happiness was only on the surface, not so deep. Beneath it was hollow. Up until that time, I had been thinking meditation was a joke, a fad and a waste of time.
David Lynch
The artist doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. Have it on the screen but have the people come out of the theater into a world of peace, of a beautiful world. They don't have to suffer in their lives.
David Lynch
I like cappuccino, actually. But even a bad cup of coffee is better than no coffee at all.
David Lynch
I always loved smokestack industry, and I love towns or cities that have grown up around factories.
David Lynch
I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also.
David Lynch
Many things happen that we don't know the significance of until a little bit later.
David Lynch
When you do something that works you have a happiness, but I don't know if it's a feeling of power. Power is a frightening thing and that's not what I'm interested in. I want to do certain things and make them right in my mind and that's it.
David Lynch
Every single thing in the world that was made by anyone started with an idea. So to catch one that is powerful enough to fall in love with, it is one of the most beautiful experiences. It's like being jolted with electricity and knowledge at the same time.
David Lynch
Everyone is on the internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the internet brings everyone into a shared space, it does not necessarily bring them together.
David Lynch
The world is as you are.
David Lynch
Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.
David Lynch
I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within.
