I've said many, many, many unkind things about Philadelphia, and I meant every one.
David Lynch

Cinema is a medium that can translate ideas. But wood can translate ideas, too. You have wood and then you get a chair. Some ideas are for different things.

Image
I know club music has to be infectious and it's got to make you move.

Image
Sugar does make people happy, but then you fall off the edge after a few minutes, so I've really pretty much cut it out of my diet. Except for cupcakes. I like those.
David Lynch
Image
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.

Image
Death in my mind isn't a finality. There's a continuum: It's like at night, you go to sleep and in the daytime you wake up, or whenever you wake up, and it's a new day.

We only dream of images we already have inside of us.

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.

Image
I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.
David Lynch
Image
What do you fear, most of all? The possibility that love may not be enough.
David Lynch
Image
I just have to think of Philadelphia now, and I get ideas, I hear the wind, and I'm off into the darkness somewhere.
David Lynch
Image
The big treasury is an ocean of infinite creativity. It's a creativity that creates everything that is a thing - it's mighty powerful creativity.
David Lynch
Image
Someday, hopefully very soon, 'diving within' as a preparation for learning and as a tool for developing the creative potential of the mind will be a standard part of every school’s curriculum.

Image
The day you catch an idea you fall in love with, even a small one, is a beautiful day.
David Lynch
Image
It's crazy to close doors to any genres.
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.
David Lynch
Image
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.

The greatest thing my father left me was a love for cutting wood - my love for sawing, especially pine wood.

Digital video is so beautiful. It's lightweight, modern, and it's only getting better. It's put film into the La Brea Tar Pits.

The more you meditate the better life gets.
