"I don't like Thomas Edison. I'm a fan of Nicolai Tesla." — David Lynch

I like watercolours. I like acrylic paint... a little bit. I like house paint. I like oil-based paint, and I love oil paint. I love the smell of turpentine and I like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.

I'm not a musician, but I play music. So it's a strange thing.

More and more people are seeing the films on computers - lousy sound, lousy picture - and they think they've seen the film, but they really haven't.

I like things to be orderly.
