    I love Lynch's interview explaining how he came up with the plot of Blue Velvet. One day he envisioned green grass, red lipstick, white picket fences, and blue skies. He stuck to that simple original vision during the entire creative process to create a cohesive aesthetic. He also talked about the nature of ideas themselves, how they seem to come from within us and outside of us simultaneously. You don't create an idea so much as you catch one when it appears.

    I dont know, I guess i don't see the value in exploring how much of a monster you really are. Monsters are meant for killing, not for shaking hands with. A man who can face the world. Putting g your darkest impulses into complete submission seems to be a much more worthwhile goal.

    According to David Lynch's autobiography "Room To Dream" he mentioned the bird at the end of "Blue Velvet" and it was supposed to be a real bird but they had so much trouble getting a real bird to sit there and "act" so that's why they went with the mechanical bird. It was meant to be a real bird. Fun fact.

    My Dad was an old-school conservative who found David Lynch to be too creepy for his liking. He judged anyone who was comfortable with darkness as someone who had darkness within them — not realizing that's actually supposed to be true of everyone. I was beginning to get through to him about Lynch's themes and getting him interested when cancer ended our discussion, but I'm glad I was able to reach him a bit with the art. It was important to me.
