Steven Soderbergh, Questlove, Ron Howard and more pay tribute to David Lynch

Questlove, Ron Howard and Steven Soderbergh are among those mourning the death of movie director David Lynch. Sodebergh told The Associated Press that Lynch “was influential but impossible to imitate.” Howard called him a “gracious man and fearless artist who followed his heart and soul,” while Questlove praised him for stressing “the importance of not overworking and taking time out to breathe.” Filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun says Lynch showed her another world. Billy Corgan, whose band Smashing Pumpkins contributed to the soundtrack for Lynch’s “Lost Highway,” says “working with him was like a dream out of one of his movies.”
