I'd love to work with David Lynch. I'm such a big fan. He's a genius.

I'd like to work with David Lynch again.

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.

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.

I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead.

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.

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.

I hope to be still acting when I'm 70 on TV, film and theatre.

I hope to be 70 and sitting at the table with journalists, talking about my films.

I've worked with David Lynch since I was 17, and working with him is home and family; being around Alexander Payne is home and family, Jonathan Demme. There are directors... Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson... They are directors where I create homes.
