Certain Quote by David Lynch

“When you do something that works you have a happiness, but I don't know if it's a feeling of power. Power is a frightening thing and that's not what I'm interested in. I want to do certain things and make them right in my mind and that's it.” quote by David Lynch — Download Open image
