David Lynch certainly has an eye for female protagonists — especially the tragic heroine — from 'Mulholland Drive' to 'Twin Peaks.' Here, four of his favorite collaborators past and present, the actresses Laura Dern, Patricia Arquette, Naomi Watts, and Hailey Gates, discuss their relationship with the famed director. In the words of Naomi Watts, "such a freak" — but a beloved one at that.

Naomi Watts, Laura Dern & Patricia Arquette Tell David Lynch Stories | W magazine

"Naomi, anyone who sits in the hand of King Kong will be a movie star for life!"

[GeorgiaPascoe]

This was basically a lynch impression competition, I approve

[tobiogunyemi]

Naomi Watts needs to play David Lynch in a biopic. I don't care what has to happen to get that going, I just want it. I want to make that film.

[issueswithtissues]

Naomi playing both David Lynch and herself in a David Lynch biopic would for sure win her an Oscar

[boppob]

Its adorable how much they obviously love David. It really is a fresh of breath air to have a massive hollywood creator be so wholesomely caring and friendly.

[rasnac]

The way they talk about him, you can feel how much these amazingly talented women love and trust Lynch. It is such a big difference from all the ugliness in the Hollywood.

[psychicseveredhead]

"she's the bee's knees" I can totally see Lynch saying that :D

[arnoldrivas]

Laura Dern: Tid Bit
Naomi Watts: Buttercup
Patricia Arquette: Solid Gold

Of course, David Lynch would give his leading actresses nicknames. lol

[alisdairmckenzie]

Fantastic clip.  Laura Dern was born to work with Lynch - she totally gets it

[zedc]

I like how positive their experiences were with him. I never liked the notion of directors being rude/unreasonable with their actors for ‘the sake of the art’ and meanwhile you have David being really positive to his cast while even when making his really bizarre and disturbing stuff

[formervehemence]

Everyone who's ever worked with him has a "David Lynch Voice" and I love it.

[bobbyaaassah]

naomi's impression was gold! the lynch girls are all maga-talented!

[gstein]

I just want a David Lynch biopic directed by Lynch where he’s played by all these wonderful actresses.

[alekid]

Naomi Watts impersonating David Lynch is too adorable. I keep returning here to watch it again

[brunobb]

Naomi's impression of David Lynch is perfect.

[allys]

I hear Lynch calls Maclachlan “kale” 😂

[jpetersgoyanks]

Tidbit, Buttercup & Solid Gold need to make an album together.

[AngelofMusic]

Amidst Naomi Watts' brilliant impersonation, the thing I find most fascinating about this is that Lynch had no idea who Bettie Page was.

[indiesongwriter]

At the end when Naomi says that it feels like David is in the scene with you, it seems like she is choking up a little bit. They love him so much!

I had to pause around 1:50 Naomi Watts says she had been auditioning for 10 years at that point. I've been trying to make a career change to software engineering for the 7 months and almost at the verge of giving up. This gives me renewed hope and courage. Thanks :)
