A quote that gets to the heart of what draws me to his work and to emulate his style:

"See what I love," explains Lynch, "is to sense more than what's in front of me...depths of things. And once that starts going, mysteries are felt and it pulls you and you're living in a word of abstractions. That's what I find really beautiful."
