"In my mind, it's so much fun to have something that has
clues and is mysterious -- something that is understood
intuitively rather than just being spoon-fed to you. That's the
beauty of cinema, and it's hardly ever tried. These days, most
films are pretty easily understood, and so people's minds stop
working."
"It's better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted
or you'll be too afraid to let things keep happening. Psychology destroys the mystery,
this kind of magic quality. It can be reduced to certain neuroses or certain things, and
since it is now named and defined, it's lost its mystery and the potential for a vast,
infinite experience."
"To give a sense of place, to me, is a thrilling thing. And a sense of place is made up of
details. And so the details are incredibly important. If they're wrong,then it throws you
out of the mood. And so the sound and music and color and shape and texture, if all those
things are correct and a woman looks a certain way with a certain kind of light and says
the right word, you're gone, you're in heaven. But it's all the little details."
--David Lynch--
