I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. - David Lynch

New mysteries. New day. Fresh doughnuts.

On Blue Velvet, I worked with a casting director, Johanna Ray. And we had all brought up Dennis Hopper. But everybody said, 'No, no; you can't work with Dennis. He's really in bad shape, and you'll have nothing but trouble.' So we continued looking for people. But one day, Dennis' agent called and said that Dennis was clean and sober and had already done another picture, and I could talk to that director to verify it. Then Dennis called and said, 'I have to play Frank, because I am Frank.' That thrilled me, and scared me.

I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.
