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
Image
In film, life-and-death struggles make you sit up, lean forward a little bit. They amplify things happening, in smaller ways, in all of us. These things show up in relationships. They show up in struggles and bring them to a critical point.

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
Image
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.

I don't think anybody really loves the sound of their own voice, but the tweakability is huge.
David Lynch
Image
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

We all have at least two sides. The world we live in is a world of opposites. And the trick is to reconcile those opposing things. I've always liked both sides. In order to appreciate one you have to know the other. The more darkness you can gather up, the more light you can see too.

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.

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
There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.
David Lynch
Image
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?
David Lynch
Image
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
Image
I would rather not make a film than make one where I don't have final cut.
David Lynch
Image
When you have something that brings a real emotion, that's the power of cinema.
David Lynch
Image
Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way to make heads or tails of it is going through intuition.
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.

Well, I've been blessed with good hair, or at least some people think it is. It is the way it is, sort of does what it wants to. So, yeah, I guess it is [a metaphor for your views on art and life].

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.
David Lynch
Image
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.

I find the joy of the 'doing' increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.
