About the Film
- David Lynch (Director/Writer/Sound Designer)
"You're sitting quietly, and something unfolds in your mind..."
"It's a dangerous thing, you know, to say what a picture is. I can't really talk about that. I can say, it's, you know, it's...I wouldn't be able to say it in a short, you know, time."
" It's about a man in trouble...a psychogenic fugue is the type of trouble."
"And it's maybe beautifully uneasy."

- Barry Gifford (Co-Writer)
"This story is really about a man who creates a situation, finds himself in a dire
situation and has a kind of panic attack. And that he really has a
difficult time in dealing with the consequences of his action. And this action fractures him, in a way."

- Patricia Arquette (Renee Madison/Alice Wakefield)
"I think it's about a man trying to recreate a relationship with the woman he loves so that it ends up better. Fred recreates himself as Pete, but the element of distrust in him is so strong that even his fantasy turns into a nightmare."

- Bill Pullman (Fred Madison)
"It's a very, kind of scary movie, and very enigmatic - a lot of questions it raises."
