David Lynch // "Ideas are the number one best thing going… Ideas come to us, we don’t really create an idea, we just catch them, like fish. No chef ever takes credit for making the fish, it’s just preparing the fish. So you get an idea and it is like a seed…and in your mind the idea is seen and felt and it explodes, like it’s got electricity and light connected to it, and it has all the images and the feeling. And it’s like in an instant you know the idea… Then the thing is translating that to some medium. It could be a film idea, or a painting idea, or a furniture idea. It doesn’t matter. It wants to be something. It’s a seed for something. So the whole thing is translating that idea to a medium... And in the case of film…it takes a long time, and you always need to go back and stay true to that idea. Keep checking that idea. And what you realize is the idea is more than you realize. And if you’re true to it, when the work is finished and some years go by, you can get even more out of it if you’ve been true to the idea in the first place."
