David
Lynch on Creating a Story...

and somehow we always find it"
David Comments
on His Preferred Childhood Toys...
"When I was little in Spokane, Washington I drew all the
time... and my father would bring paper home... and I mostly drew
browning automatic water-cooled sub-machine guns... that was my
favorite" - David Lynch
A
Funny Recollection...
"One day he was showing me a painting he made. It was thick
with oil, and right as he showed it to me a moth flew into the
painting and got stuck - it flew around and its wings created a
little circle in his painting, sort of like the death of a moth
... I thought David would pull the moth out and repaint it, but
he fell in love with it the way it was" - Jack Fisk, artist
and friend.
Art as a Way to
Vent...
"Luckily, David is able
to vent everything through his art... because otherwise somebody
might be dead" - Jack Fisk, artist and friend.

that you subconciensly use in painting you use in film... but I

Highway" summed up...

says its mysterious, its violent, erotic, perplexing,
blaberrinthion (Jason's comment: I have NO idea what this
means)... this is what you find on the Lost Highway" -
