There are some things you just can't live without. For director/musician David Lynch, it's the fabulous fragrance of coffee. Our colleagues at Huffington Post Culture have started a new series, Obsessed, in which famous figures and unknown fanatics alike gawk about their favorite things.

"I am pretty much obsessed with coffee," Lynch writes in the inaugural column. "I've been drinking coffee on a regular basis since I was in the ninth grade. In the ninth grade, I met my soon-to-be good friend, Toby, on the front yard lawn of my girlfriend's house. And during that first conversation with Toby, he happened to tell me that his father was a painter, a fine art painter. Hearing this news that an adult could be a painter -- an explosion went off in my head and from that moment on all I wanted to do was paint. And for me, the world of a painter held much coffee."
