David Lynch: 'Ideas Are Like Fish.'

[Nivico80]

He always say that ideas be in the air.it's surrealism,that let him see,what the rest not. Don't go too fast in your live,watch.

[GoggleEyedOne]

this is more fully explained in his book / audiobook "Catching The Big Fish" .. he talks about creativity, meditation, and his process. it's really worth checking out if you're a fan, or even remotely interested in being creative.

[Paperhouse81]

He is referring to spontaneous ideas. For example, in our unconscious, there are many ideas and feelings floating about, like fish (As David would put it), and outside influences and stimuli would actually trigger those ideas...that is why we have to grab the idea as soon as it comes into our field of consciousness.
