What is David Lynch's theory of ideas?
Ideas, they’re like little golden nuggets, or sometimes dark, shadowy things, floating around. You have to be open to them. You can’t force them. They come from the ether, from the universe. Sometimes a tiny spark, a sound, an image, will lodge itself in your mind, and you know it’s something. It’s a beautiful idea. You nurture it, you let it grow. It’s like a seed. You don’t know exactly what it will become, but you feel its pull. It’s the feeling that guides you. You follow that feeling, and that idea starts to reveal itself, layer by layer. It’s a mystery, a wonderful, unfolding mystery.
