Matt Skiba has claimed that he gets his inspiration from David Lynch the film maker, and like David Lynch he practices transcendental meditation. He claims that Lynch's book 'Catching the big fish' had a massive impact on his life. Catching the big fish is about how meditation can empower us to tap into our creative subconscious river, and the deeper we go, the bigger the fish (ideas) we catch.
