DAVID LYNCHAbsurdity is what I like most in life.
DAVID LYNCHInside, we are ageless and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center.

DAVID LYNCHI like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.
