“When you finish anything, people want you to then talk about it. And I think it’s almost like a crime. A film or a painting – each thing is its own sort of language and it’s not right to try to say the same thing in words. The words are not there. The language of film, cinema, is the language it was put into, and the English language – it’s not going to translate. It’s going to lose.”
― David Lynch

“Don't become the enemy trying to fix people. People will always love their old ways, that may just work for them.

If they accept your instructions when you are around them and do otherwise when you are absent - they fear you not respect you.

Let them be the architects of their own doom without blaming it on you.”
