Das trivias do IMDB sobre o Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986):
Several of the actors who were considered for the role of Frank found the character too repulsive and intense. Dennis Hopper, by contrast, is reported to have exclaimed, “I’ve got to play Frank. Because I am Frank!”

"Será que estou errado ao pensar que adorávamos viver ali? Nenhuma ilusão é mais corriqueira do que aquela que a nostalgia nos inspira na velhice, mas será que estou completamente enganado ao pensar que viver como crianças de boas famílias na Florença do Renascimento não chegaria nem aos pés de ser criado no raio de alcance aromático dos barris de picles de Tabachnik? Será que estou errado em pensar que mesmo naquele tempo, que era o nosso vívido presente, a plenitude da vida fazia vibrar nossas emoções a um grau extraordinário? Algum outro lugar, desde então, conseguiu inundar nossa mente com um mar de detalhes como aquele? O detalhe, a imensidão do detalhe, a força do detalhe, o peso do detalhe — a rica infinidade de detalhes que nos rodeava em nossa juventude, como os dois metros de terra que serão despejados em nossa cova quando estivermos mortos."

"Where is the literature which gives expression to Nature? He would be a poet who could impress the winds and streams into his service, to speak for him; who nailed words to their primitive senses, as farmers drive down stakes in the spring, which the frost has heaved; who derived his words as often as he used them—transplanted them to his page with earth adhering to their roots; whose words were so true and fresh and natural that they would appear to expand like the buds at the approach of spring, though they lay half smothered between two musty leaves in a library—aye, to bloom and bear fruit there, after their kind, annually, for the faithful reader, in sympathy with surrounding Nature."
Henry David Thoreau, Walking
