You know, I love ideas, ideas are everything. I always say human beings don’t do anything without an idea. And ideas for me, the ones that are important to me, are ones that come along and pop in. You see the thing, like a cinema idea. I only get them in fragments but you see it, in the mind, like on a screen. First you see the thing, then you hear the thing, you feel the mood of the thing, and you know it. But it’s a gift, it’s a thrill, it wasn’t there and now it’s there. It’s even hardly anything to do with imagination. It just pops in, then you know it, and you should write it down. It’s a beautiful thing to catch an idea that you love. – David Lynch
