Quote

I love industry. Pipes. I love fluid and smoke. I love man-made things. I like to see people hard at work, and I like to see sludge and man-made waste.

The artist does not have to suffer to show suffering.
David Lynch

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.

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.

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

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.

There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.

I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.

Image
I let the actors work out their ideas before shooting, then tell them what attitudes I want. If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.
David Lynch

Every single person has within an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness. Every single human being can experience that - infinite intelligence, infinite creativity, infinite happiness, infinite energy, infinite dynamic peace.

The nervous system functions in a fourth, unique way, as different as dreaming is from sleeping as sleeping is from waking. When you transcend, it's the only experience that lights the full brain on an EEG machine. It's the only experience that utilizes the full brain.

The great coming to age of cable is really a beautiful thing. No commercials. It's like a small theater. It's a cinema on a TV screen.
David Lynch
Image
The side effect of expanding consciousness is that negativity starts to evaporate it goes away like darkness when you turn on a light.

Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too.
David Lynch
Image
My rule of thumb is, what Siskel and Ebert like, I don't, and vice versa.
David Lynch
Image
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 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.

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

This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.
David Lynch
Image
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
Image
You need contrast and conflict in order to tell a story. Stories need to have dark and light, turmoil, all those things. But that does not mean the filmmaker has to suffer in order to show the suffering. Stories should have the suffering, not the people.
