Jack Nance Quotations

Lynch is an ordinary, smalltown guy and he just sees strange things in people.

But Eraserhead was the first real intense kind of thing I had ever done before the cameras and Lynch had to really bring me down a lot and he still does.

To sum it all up: It was a great picture to do; I just wish it had never been released.

My dog barks some. Mentally you picture my dog. But I have not told you the type of dog which I have. Perhaps you even picture Toto, from 'The Wizard of Oz.' But I warn you, my dog is always with me... WOOF!

I say that I played a doorstop in Dune because I remember standing around a lot. I was down there for months.

And now comes Pete Martell in Twin Peaks and he's just a nice guy.

All of a sudden, those few pages of script that he had shown me with the weird images I could visualize all of that in my brain, and I knew that there was this mad little genius at work here and I really wanted to do the film.

We've all got strange things about us and Lynch picks those things up.

All those pictures are some of my favourite movies, and they've remade almost all of them and they aren't nearly as suspenseful as the originals.
