Kyle MacLachlan on his last mtg w/ David Lynch: "He was very much about the Next Thing, & trying to figure out a way to direct, but to do it remotely. And that was gonna be an option. Certainly he was not in the best of health, but he was like, We've got more work to do." www.npr.org/transcripts/...

David Foster Wallace in '96: "Dentistry seems to be a new passion for Lynch, btw—the photo on the title page of Lost Highway's script, which is of a guy with half his face normal & half unbelievably distended & ventricose & gross, was apparently plucked from a textbook on extreme dental emergencies"

ANDOR-creator Tony Gilroy on the show's biggest inspiration, BABYLON BERLIN (which I highly recommend):
"That show blew me away—how beautiful it was, how rich and complex...yet it was an amazing adventure story.... That was kind of a benchmark for me like, Man... we have to be that."

"Child-fucking-labor" struck me as suggestive phrasing in the latest Severance.
