Well Lynch famously said this over and over about his films — that they mean whatever people think they mean.

Watch a few interviews where he is asked what a film of his means. A smirk comes on his face and he repeats his mantra.

He never let on.

I'd argue many creators are this way. Nobody is ever going to approach a piece of art the same way.

Unless you are a narcissist (probable billionare) who feels the need to go back and explain every detail about the wizarding world you created a few decades later and reveal what kind of piece of crap you are.

sure but david lynch obviously lent into that way more than most others. his work is famously obtuse and the experience of each person watching and having that experience and interpreting it on their own was a huge part of the point of his work in a way that just isnt true for many other people

> you are a narcissist (probable billionare)

These days you'll have to be more specific.
