All Hollywood mourns David Lynch: “He was the real Willy Wonka of cinema”

Nicolas Cage (lead performer of Sailor et Lula) : “He was a singular genius of cinema, one of the greatest artists of all time. He was courageous, brilliant, a maverick with a joyful sense of humor. I’ve never had more fun on a film set than working with David Lynch.”

Mädchen Amick (actress of Twin Peaks): “He was a master, a genius, but above all a simply wonderful guy. David Lynch was my mentor. How lucky was I? He was also my dearest friend. Always there for life-changing advice. He was my North Star.”

Ron Howard : “He was a gracious man, a fearless artist who followed his heart and soul and who proved that radical experimentation could create unforgettable cinema.”

Sting : “David was a modern giant of the avant-garde. I’m very proud to have worked with him on the first Dune film.”

Judd Apatow : “His efforts to spread transcendental meditation through his foundation have changed the lives of countless people, including mine. His book on creativity, Catching The Big Fishchanged the situation. It was a true gift to all of us.”

James Gunn : “He inspired us so much.”

Joe Russo: “Nobody saw the world like David Lynch. We have lost a master of cinema.”

Naomi Watts (star de Mullholand Drive) : “The world won’t be the same without him. His creativity was truly powerful. He put me on the (Hollywood) map.”

Kyle MacLachlan (star de Twin Peaks) : “42 years ago, for reasons beyond my understanding, David Lynch plucked me from obscurity to cast me in his first and last big-budget film. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t know. I owe my entire career, and my life in fact, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man, with an ocean of creativity flowing out of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could reach. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed like the best version of man. He wasn’t interested in the answers, because he understood that questions are the engine that makes us who we are. They are our breath.”

Lara Flynn Boyle (Twin Peaks actress) : “This is the real Willy Wonka of cinema. I feel like I won the golden ticket by having the chance to work with him.”
