That's not what you originally said, but I think we both understand eachother's points, now.
Which, like the first quote, is completely different from your original statement. Personally, I like the quote from Rolling Stone magazine from an interview with Lynch about Dune...
While discussing the standard set by Star Wars and Lynch turning down Jedi to direct Dune:
What did Lucas have to say about the making of Dune? "Well, he did say that you couldn´t make the book into a movie." Lynch folded his hands and nodded. "It´s pretty true."
