Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me.
David Lynch

Life is very, very complicated and so films should be allowed to be too.
David Lynch

With TV being the modern peephole.
David Lynch

It's so powerful, where you place things and the relationships. But you don't work with any kind of intellectual thing. You just act and react. It's all intuition. It must obey rules, but these rules are not in any book. The basic rules of composition are a joke.
David Lynch

Once it becomes specific, it's no longer true to a lot of people, where if it's abstract there could be some truth to it for everyobdy.
David Lynch

If it stays abstract, if it's in an area where it feels truthful, and it hooks in the right way, and it thrills you as it moves to the next idea, and it seems to move and make some sort of intuitive sense.
David Lynch

All my movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds.
David Lynch

It doesn't do any good to say, 'This is what it means.' When you are spoon fed a film, people instantly know what it is. I like films that leave room to dream.
David Lynch

There's a beguiling and magnetic mood. There's so much darkness, and there's so much room to dream. They're mysteries and there are people in trouble, and uneasiness.
David Lynch

The beginning dictates the direction and you never know where you're going to go… the mood is what you're looking for, and somehow we always find it.
David Lynch
