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.

More From David Lynch

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

[david lean's] images stay with me forever. but what makes them memorable isn't necessarily their beauty. that's just good photography. it's the emotion behind those images that's meant the most to me over the years. it's the way david lean can put feeling on film. the way he shows a whole landscape of the spirit. for me, that's the real geography of david lean country. and that's why, in a david lean movie, there's no such thing as an empty landscape.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

You have to communicate on a much greater scale. with a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. on stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. you're always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you're feeling. it's a little bit different from film.
Eye Thinking Focus
One way to keep people close to you is by not giving them enough. ... with people who give a lot of themselves, you sometimes lean back - but with people who give little you often lean forward, as if they're a spigot in the desert and you're the empty cup. it is the tropism of deprivation: we lean toward those who do not give.
People Giving Personality
There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. it's like watching paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.

Looking at the elementary schoolers in their colorful t-shirts from various day camps, percy felt a twinge of sadness. he should be at camp half-blood right now, settling into his cabin for the summer, teaching sword-fighting lessons in the arena, playing pranks on the other counselors. these kids had no idea just how crazy a summer camp could be.
