David Lynch: The Idea Dictates Everything

David Lynch talks about his creative life from art student to filmmaker, from "Eraserhead" (1977) to the internet and "Inland Empire' (2006). Why intuition is so important, the opportunity to make "The Elephant Man", why there is no "Director's Cut" of "Dune" (1984), the inspiration behind "Lost Highway" (1997) and why he thinks celluloid is a dinosaur.
