Happy accidents are real gifts, and they can open the door to a future that didn't even exist. It's kind of nice sometimes to set up something to encourage or allow happy accidents to happen. -David Lynch Future
A poet could write volumes about diners, because they're so beautiful. They're brightly lit, with chrome and booths and Naugahyde and great waitresses. Now, it might not be so great in the health department, but I think diner food is really worth experiencing periodically. -David Lynch Health
I love Bob Dylan. Who doesn't? He tapped into some kind of vein and it keeps on keeping on. There's nobody like him. He's unique, and just... way out cool. -David Lynch Cool
A lot of artists think they want anger. But a real, strong, bitter anger occupies the mind, leaving no room for creativity. -David Lynch Anger

I love Christmas tree bulbs, and I started putting them in my paintings. You've got to plug this painting in, and it's got a rig in the back, so that each one can be replaced if it burns out. -David Lynch Christmas

Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there's comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life. -David Lynch Humor
I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool! -David Lynch Cool
