I admire David Lynch so much, and I think he made some bad decisions with Lost Highway.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lynch is not as strange as his films. He's a complex guy with a very interesting view of the world. But he's very accessible, with a good heart.
David Lynch was very good, very patient with us, and the reaction in the United States seems pretty good.
And I took a long time to appreciate Lynch.
When you work with David Lynch, you never know where he's going next and that's exciting. He's like a magician pulling out new tricks.
But Eraserhead was the first real intense kind of thing I had ever done before the cameras and Lynch had to really bring me down a lot and he still does.
David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.
I think that David Lynch, he lives in a zone, and he expresses that zone to us with everything he does.
David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late '80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He's a very cool, hip guy. This film, let's face it, is like an homage to him, I would imagine he'd find it funny.
David Lynch plucked me from obscurity. He cast me as the lead in 'Dune' and 'Blue Velvet,' and people have seen me as this boy-next-door-cooking-up-something-weird-in-the-basement ever since. I was 23 when I first met him, in his bungalow on the Universal lot, and could never have predicted we would have such an enduring relationship.
Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. 'Lost Highway' is, I think, one of the best films I've ever been in. It'll endure a long, long time.
