Interviews with David Lynch

This chapter presents interviews with David Lynch. Specifically, an interview by Kathrin Spohr published in form 158, no. 2 (1997): 44–45, and another by Mike Figgis published in Sight and Sound 17, no. 3 (2007). Topics discussed include Lynch's interest in furniture design; the role of architecture in his movies; how the notion of time as out of control was expressed in the set design of the Lost Highway; his use of his private spaces in his films; Inland Empre as his longest film; whether he had the complete film in mind when he began filming; and the reasons why he decided to concentrate on film rather than painting or writing.
