"I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath." -- Well, he ain't just talking about literal ants...

I think he was talking about literal ants.

David Lynch’s work was never symbolic. You only ever got what was right in front of you.

The moment you start seeing symbols in his work, you know you’re viewing it wrong.

Edit: Lynch’s YT channel is filled with weather reports and random numbers. How much more anti-symbolic can you get?

      The snakeskin jacket was in the film on Nic Cage's request. Possibly that line too!

        Lynch wrote that line because Nic wanted the jacket in the film. Gives it a little bit of an extra kick when you think about it.
