If you keep your eye on the doughnut and do your work, that's all you can control. You can't control any of what's out there, outside yourself.

There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.
David Lynch
The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.
David Lynch
I've seen so many cases where lives have been transformed for the good and heard so many stories about this. The technique of Transcendental Meditation really works for the human being.
David Lynch
Sleep is really important. You need to rest the physiology to be able to work weel and meditate well. When I don't get enough sleep, my meditations are duller. You may even dip into sleep at the beginning of your meditation, because you're settling down. But if you're well rested, you'll have a clearer deeper experience.
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
Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me. But behind it you can rise out of that and see things the way the really are.
David Lynch
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.
David Lynch
We're like lightbulbs. If bliss starts growing inside you, it's like a light it affects the environment.
David Lynch
Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way to make heads or tails of it is going through intuition.
David Lynch
I don't really follow television so much, but in the old days there was a certain way TV was, and it wasn't really like cinema. I don't know how many ways it was different or the same, but it was not quite like cinema. Now, cinema can happen on television.
David Lynch
Many things happen that we don't know the significance of until a little bit later.
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
I supported myself by delivering the 'Wall Street Journal' and doing odd jobs. I love plumbing and carpentry.
David Lynch
I've loved music always, and my music fire was lit by Elvis Presley, really, and all that was happening back then.
David Lynch
The side effect of expanding consciousness is that negativity starts to evaporate it goes away like darkness when you turn on a light.
David Lynch
So much of what happened to me is good fortune. But I would say: Try to get a job that gives you some time get your sleep and a little bit of food and work as much as you can. There's so much enjoyment in doing what you love. Maybe this will open doors, and you'll find a way to do what you love.
David Lynch
Film can't just be a long line of bliss. There's something we all like about the human struggle.
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
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
I have a profound admiration for Fellini. I met him lately and he's just fantastic. I feel very close to him even though he's very Italian. But his films could have been made in every country. When I say, I feel close to him, then also because we're both born on January 20th.
