"Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beutifull. I look for a certain kind of fish that is important to me, one that can translate to cinema. But there are all kinds of fish swimming down there. There are fish for business, fish for sports. There are fish for everything. Everything, anything that is a thing, comes up form the deepest level. Modern physics calls that level the Unified Field. The more your consciousness - your awareness - is expanded, the deeper you go toward this source, and the bigger the fish you can catch."

Introdução de Catching The Big Fish, livro de David Lynch lançando no ano passado, junto com seu último filme, Inland Empire, e que lhe rendeu, tanto quanto ao filme, críticas as mais severas, tendo sido por muitos tachado de auto-ajuda. No livro, única obra escrita de punho até hoje pelo mestre, Lynch fala de meditação transcedental, auto-consciência e criatividade, num depoimento simples, claro e direto acerca da sua sem dúvida iluminada visão de mundo.
