    David Lynch is one of my favorite directors of all time. As far as I know he hasn't been a creep, sex pest, or actually abusive to those he worked with but I will be sad if I find out otherwise. He does heavy stuff but does it with grace and tact.

    Edit: was the playing with fire a tein Peaks pun?

      I thought you made it on purpose. And yeah, a big part of why he's my favorite director as someone who has directed stuff and also as an audience guy is that he did stuff like Twin Peaks , blue velvet and mullhulland drive and the wo.rn who acted out some really harsh stuff ended out taking away a positive experience from it and feeling empowered. He let them sort or lead those scenes and as I've said, they actors and having the chance to explore those areas of emotion or performance which can be triggering. From everything I've heard with all the really explicit stuff Lynch has done with women, he made sure they were not only okay with it but part of the creative end of it, saw the merit of it and were enthusiastic participants who either saw it as no biggie or a very comfortable environment to artistically express those dark things as an actor.
