I could not let this one slip by. Alex Williams interviews David Lynch in the NYTs about Inland Empire (see our review) and his new book on meditation. Lynch says "To be a grown-up and to do what you want to do is the most swaying prairie grass. “But this doesn’t happen for most people. Sadly, they have to make ends meet....I heard Charles Bukowski started meditation late in his life... He was an angry, angry guy, but he apparently loved meditation.” Of course, just as meditation never got Mr. Lynch over a taste for the macabre, it never quenched Mr. Bukowski’s famous thirst for whiskey. “Well, maybe in time, it would have,” Mr. Lynch said with a smile. “In the meantime — just more enjoyment of the whiskey.” (via Movie City Indie)
