Quote preview background for David Lynch
Cinema is a language. It can say things__ig, abstract things. And I love that about it. I__ not always good with words. Some people are poets and have a beautiful way of saying things with words. But cinema is its own language. And with it you can say so many things, because you__e got time and sequences. You__e got dialogue. You__e got music. You__e got sound effects. You have so many tools. And you can express a feeling and a thought that can__ be conveyed any other way. Its a magical medium. For me, it__ so beautiful to think about these pictures and sounds flowing together in time and in sequence, making something that can be done only through cinema. Its not just words or music-it__ a whole range of elements coming together and making something that didn__ exist before. It__ telling stories. It__ devising a world, an experience, that people cannot have unless they see that film. When I catch an idea for a film, I fall in love with the way cinema can express it. I like a story that holds abstractions, and that__ what cinema can do.
