Everyone is on the internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the internet brings everyone into a shared space, it does not necessarily bring them together.
David Lynch

Together, Another, Talk

David Lynch

Mean, Different, Else

The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.
David Lynch

Concept, Absurdity, Attracted

David Lynch

Life, Humor, Ignorance

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

David Lynch

Between, Here, Off

David Lynch

Love, House, Bit

I've said many, many, many unkind things about Philadelphia, and I meant every one.

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

Words, Said, Story

A film - especially when it's a personal film - is going to hit somebody or it's not. There's nothing you can do about it.
David Lynch

Nothing, Personal, Film

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

Beautiful, Put, Getting

David Lynch

Love, Him, Pieces

I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!
David Lynch

Cool, Beautiful, Find

David Lynch

David Lynch

Experience, Strong, Feelings

My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.
David Lynch

David Lynch

Nothing, Together, Afraid

Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.
David Lynch

Love, Sometimes, Idea

Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they're on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.
David Lynch

Moment, Whatever, Road
