A filmmaker doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don't have to die to shoot a death scene. David Lynch deathdiefilmmaker Change image and share on social
As a kid, I was always building things. My father had a shop in the house, and we built things - we were kind of a project family. I started out as a painter, and then painting led to cinema, and in cinema, you get to build so many things, or help build them. David Lynch buildcinemafamily share on social

I think part of the reason ideas haven't come in is that the world of cinema is changing so drastically, and in a weird way, feature films I think have become cheap. Everything is kind of throwaway. It's experienced and then forgotten. David Lynch changecheapcinema share on social
I thought when I started meditation that I was going to get real calm and peaceful and it's going to be over. It's not that way; it's so energetic. That's where all the energy and creativity is. David Lynch calmcreativityenergetic Change image and share on social
A poet could write volumes about diners, because they're so beautiful. They're brightly lit, with chrome and booths and Naugahyde and great waitresses. Now, it might not be so great in the health department, but I think diner food is really worth experiencing periodically. David Lynch beautifulboothbrightly share on social
