More quotes by David Lynch

We all reflect the world we live in. Even if you make a period film, it will reflect your times.

Catching the Big Fish (2006)

Anger and depression and sorrow are beautiful things in a story, but they are like poison to the filmmaker or artist.

Catching the Big Fish (2006)

There are many, many dark things flowing around in this world right now, and most films reflect the world in which we live.

Catching the Big Fish (2006)

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

There's so many problems in our world, so much negativity. Don't worry about the darkness — turn on the light and the darkness automatically goes.
