I like David Lynch; I like Stanley Kubrick. I'm a big fan of Kubrick.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'
I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others.
I'd love to work with David Lynch. I'm such a big fan. He's a genius.
I love Carpenter, I love Craven - these are all the classics - the Romeros of the world, but I think the biggest influence on me as a storyteller and as a filmmaker is actually Steven Spielberg. I love that even though Steven isn't known for being a horror director, he started out his career making scary movies.
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.
Really, what I'm doing is an attempt to continue the best work of the people I adore: Francis Coppola and Scorsese and Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick and those amazing directors whose work I grew up with and loved.
I love so many directors. I love David O. Russell. I love David Fincher, I love Alexander Payne and Jane Campion and my aunt. Spike Jonze. There are just so many amazing directors.
I like Bill Murray a real lot. I like Andy Kaufman.
Stanley Kubrick was a big inspiration. People accuse me of never using my own material. But when did Kubrick? You look at his films and they are completely unique... completely separate entities.
