Advice
The Truth upholds the fragrant Earth and makes the living water wet. Truth makes fire burn and the air move, makes the sun shine and all life grow. A hidden truth supports everything. Find it and win.
-- Ramayana

Stay true to yourself. Let your voice ring out, and don't let anybody fiddle with it. Never turn down a good idea, but never take a bad idea. And meditate. It's very important to experience that Self, that pure consciousness. It's really helped me. I think it would help any filmmaker. So start diving within, enlivening that bliss consciousness. Grow in happiness and intuition. Experience the joy of doing. And you'll glow in this peaceful way. Your friends will be very, very happy with you. Everyone will want to sit next to you. And people will give you money!

David Lynch's most recent film, Inland Empire, will be released on DVD in August by Rhino Entertainment. Excerpted from Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch by arrangement with Tarcher, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. Copyright (c) 2006 by Bobkind Inc.
