More quotes by David Lynch
I'm lost in a transition. The old is dead, and I don't know what the new is. The only way to find the new is to start different things and see if there's something that can come out of experimentation. It's somewhat unsettling, but it's a hopeful thing in a way. I've been here before, lots of times.
David Lynch
One change of attitude would change everything. If everyone realized that it could be a beautiful world and said, 'let's not do these things anymore - let's have fun.'
David Lynch
Everybody's got creativity. Dive within to the ocean of infinite creativity.
David Lynch
Films are 50 percent visual and 50 percent sound. Sometimes sound even overplays the visual.
David Lynch
Every time I hear sounds, I see pictures. Then, I start getting ideas. It just drives me crazy
David Lynch

In the world there's a thing called collective consciousness. All of us billions of human beings together create that collective consciousness. With all the problems in our world, you can see that the collective consciousness is not so high.

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
When you have something that brings a real emotion, that's the power of cinema.
David Lynch
I love two-lane highways. They say something about the way things used to be, and about areas that don't have a lot of people. On those two-lanes at night you get the sense of moving into the unknown, and that's as thrilling a sense as human beings can have.
David Lynch
To me, a story can be both concrete and abstract, or a concrete story can hold abstractions. And abstractions are things that really can't be said so well with words.
David Lynch
You could say that spirituality is bliss, and bliss is physical happiness, emotional happiness, mental happiness, and spiritual happiness. And it's intense. It's an intense happiness. It brings you together with everything.
David Lynch
You don't dive for specific solutions you dive to enliven that ocean of consciousness. Then your intuition grows and you have a way of solving those problems-knowing when it's not quite right and knowing a way to make it feel correct for you. That capacity grows and things go much more smoothly.
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
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 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
I like things to be orderly.
David Lynch
I truly believe there is a field of peace within and that it can be enlivened and brought to the surface to be enjoyed by all.
David Lynch
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.
