The director of & # 39; Twin Peaks & # 39; David Lynch knows that he's not a good father

David Lynch knows that he could improve some as a father.

"See, I'm not – I'm not the best parent," the 72-year-old director told Vulture.

While the co-creator of "Twin Peaks" said that he cared for his four children – Jennifer, 50, Austin, 35, Riley, 26, and Lula, 5 – his art comes from first.

"I love all my children and we get along well, but in the early years, before you can have a relationship talking to them, it's hard," he said. "And I would have divorced and other things – I have four children and three divorces." Work is the main thing, and I know that I caused some suffering because of that, but at the same time, I have a huge love for children. "

Lynch, whose parents were not particularly involved in her life, also thinks that today 's parents are too involved in their children' s lives.

"Emily, my wife, sends me pictures if she's in the park and sees a father there," he said. She will say, "Look, a dad is here" and I'll say, "He's a homeless person. "But I should not make fun of it – it's fine for the kid of that man that he is there – everyone has their own way."

But the filmmaker, who recently said that Donald Trump could be "one of the greatest presidents in history," also admitted that his need to create affects all his relationships, not just those with his children .

"It's like I have a desire to do things and everything that hinders the game – it's so painful," he explained. "Relationships, if they are not smooth and I have no place to work, they are a torment.I can love people, and I love people, but I need space to work. "

That said, Lynch said he was at least sure to introduce his children to Transcendental Meditation.

"All my children started when they were 6 or 5 years old," he said. "I'm going to tell you a story: I was in Italy, and this nun asked me about Transcendental Meditation for children and wanted to know how old the children were old enough to start." I said : "When they're old enough to keep a secret." She said, "Oh, no! No secrets!" But you get your mantra and you're not supposed to say it out loud because that's what you're saying. 39 is meant to take you inside, not outside. The nun panicked about it. Maybe it tells you something about nuns. "
