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.

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

I always say, I hope David never discovers that he can make a picture without me because I might never work again.
-- Jack Nance
I say that I played a doorstop in Dune because I remember standing around a lot. I was down there for months.

Lynch is an ordinary, smalltown guy and he just sees strange things in people.
-- Jack Nance
To sum it all up: It was a great picture to do; I just wish it had never been released.
-- Jack Nance
We've all got strange things about us and Lynch picks those things up.
