the details are incredibly important
9th May 2017 | for Creatives | art, reaching your audience, filmmaking, David Lynch |
"To give a sense of place, to me, is a thrilling thing. And a sense of place is made up of details. And so the details are incredibly important. If they're wrong, then it throws you out of the mood. And so the sound and music and color and shape and texture, if all those things are correct and a woman looks a certain way with a certain kind of light and says the right word, you're gone, you're in heaven. But it's all the little details."

different things to different people
"[My films] mean different things to different people. Some mean more or less the same things to a large number of people. It's okay. Just as long as there's not one message, spoon-fed. That's what films by committee end up being, and it's a real bummer to me ... Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too."
the meaning, it's a very personal thing
"It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else."
It is very self-centered
"Making music and being an artist in any way, really, stems from an essentially self-centered place. Some people will say that they make music or art to give something to the world, to share it with people, because they think people need to hear it. I think most of that is bullshit. You create things because they come from a place that is purely you. It is very self-centered, which is not a bad thing—it is just the nature of creativity."
an uplifting act that can help people
"I think the creation of beauty is an uplifting act that can help people. Creating beautiful images that people can see, share, and take solace in is a laudable social goal."
Form Following Content
