Steven Spielberg: "I loved David's films.
Blue Velvet,
Mulholland Drive and
Elephant Man defined him as a singular, visionary dreamer who directed films that felt handmade... The world is going to miss such an original and unique voice. His films have already stood the test of time and they always will."
Ron Howard: "#RIPDavidLynch, a gracious man and fearless artist who followed his heart & soul and proved that radical experimentation could yield unforgettable cinema."
Nicolas Cage: "A singular genius in cinema, one of the greatest artists of this or any time... He was brave, brilliant, and a maverick with a joyful sense of humor. I never had more fun on a film set than working with David Lynch. He will always be solid gold."
Kyle MacLachlan: "David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath... While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own."
