Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity: 10th Anniversary Edition

by David Lynch

It’s so magical—I don’t know why—to go into a theater and have the lights go down. It’s very quiet, and then the curtains start to open. Maybe they’re red. And you go into a world. It’s beautiful when it’s a shared experience. It’s still beautiful when you’re at home and your theater is in front of you, though it’s not quite as good. It’s best on a big screen. That’s the way to go into a world.

You fall in love with the first idea, that little tiny piece. And once you’ve got it, the rest will come in time.

THE ANGRIEST DOG IN THE WORLD

FIRE Sitting in front of a fire is mesmerizing. It’s magical. I feel the same way about electricity. And smoke. And flickering lights.
