• Coming back to America was, for me, much more of a culture shock than going to India.

Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect in my opinion. That's had a big impact on my work.

• I'm not comfortable with words. I love images ,and I love sounds, and I love feelings. I like the idea of intuition. I think a lot of things in life are understood that way.

I feel that I live in darkness and confusion, and I'm trying, like we all are, to make some sort of sense of it.

  David Lynch
