Catching Ideas

Ideas are like fish.

If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper.

Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beautiful.

I look for a certain kind of fish that is important to me, one that can translate to cinema. But there are all kinds of fish swimming down there. There are fish for business, fish for sports. There are fish for everything.

Everything, anything that is a thing, comes up from the deepest level. Modern physics calls that level the Unified Field. The more your consciousness-your awareness-is expanded, the deeper you go toward this source, and the bigger the fish you can catch.

David Lynch is regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers of our time, having been one of the few directors to appear on the cover of Time magazine. Lynch's popular and highly acclaimed cinematic ventures, such as Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive, are credited for breaking down the barrier between art cinema and mainstream filmmaking from the early 1970s to the current day.
