Lynch was responsible for the film of (sort of) Frank Herbert's DUNE.
As I recall, McLachlan played the role of Paul Atriedes.  One of the
mental disciplines trained into the character by his Bene Gesserit tutors
was the control of fear ("Fear is the mind-killer....").  Hence the
connection to Cooper's comments....
