    • Whatever you think of his films, in person, Lynch is definitely the latter. Though he's famously reluctant to answer questions about his films (in a recent New York Times profile, he remarks, "Talking — it's real dangerous"), he is also thoughtful, gentlemanly, and in possession of an underpublicised — but acute — sense of humor.
    • I always say Eraserhead is my most spiritual film.

    • The
      contradiction between Lynch's description of his own childhood as idyllic
      and his apparent identification with the boy caused Philip Strick (in Monthly
      Film Bulletin       639, April 1987) to argue that an autobiographical reading
      had been "firmly discouraged", but it should be remembered that when, two
      years earlier, Lynch's wife gave birth to a daughter (Jennifer Lynch, creator
      of Boxing Helena [1993]), the director discovered that fatherhood's
      unexpected responsibilities filled him with terror. It is, then, possible
      to understand The Grandmother 's monstrous father as a powerful act
      of self-criticism (Eraserhead [1976] can be seen as a partial remake
      told from the father's point-of-view),

      • In film, life-and-death struggles make you sit up, lean forward a little bit. They amplify things happening, in smaller ways, in all of us. These things show up in relationships. They show up in struggles and bring them to a critical point.
        • As quoted in "Lost Highway" interview by Mikal Gilmore in Rolling Stone (6 March 1997)
      • Life is very, very complicated and so films should be allowed to be too.

    • ynch started out as a painter at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art way back in 1966, and famously moved to making short abstract films, which he calls 'moving paintings', when he saw one of his canvases moving in the wind. With the money he made from his first private commission while still an art student, he bought a Bolex Super 8 camera. Given the almost accidental nature of his move into film-making, would he ever have been satisfied had he remained a painter? 'Oh yes,' he says, without hesitation, 'for sure. That's all I wanted to do for a long time. Just paint. But, suddenly, now there was film. This big thing
    • Does he concern himself with traditional notions of, say, composition and colour? 'Well, you don't think about it, no, but it's there. It's not an intellectual thing. It's an intuitive thing. I mean, I don't think you could teach that, really. There's billions of variations on a theme of composition. Just infinite. It's just a thing that's there. It just, um, starts feeling correcter and correcter until it's done.'

  • ArtandCulture Artist: Francis Bacon on 2008-06-12
    • Born in Ireland in 1909, Francis Bacon spent his formative years in a nation wracked by the Sinn Fein uprising, an event that haunted him long after his family moved to England. He never trained formally as a painter but began to pursue art in London in the late 1920s, eventually receiving recognition in the 1940s for his disturbing figure studies.

      Though Expressionist in style, Bacon’s distortions of the human form were based as much on his interest in medical textbooks as in art theory.

    • Würde Franz Kafka noch leben, sie wären vermutlich sein Lieblingsregisseur.

      Das wäre etwas, worüber ich mich sicherlich sehr freuen würde. Kafka ist für mich schon seit jeher ein Quell großer Inspiration. Ich finde es eigentlich sehr schade, dass ich bis heute mein “Metamorphosis“-Projekt nicht realisieren konnte. Diese Verwandlungsgeschichte ist einfach fabelhaft.

    • Ich ziehe eben den Mikrokosmos dem Makrokosmos vor.
