The older David Lynch gets, the more he talks like a David Lynch character.
just like Tarantino
Yes indeed, he sounds like the guy playing the part of Gordon Cole.
mr lynch you are so fucking lynch
What character comes to mind? I understand you're generalizing but I'm curious as to the basis of that generalization.
Bobby Peru.. "like the country".
I like watching Lynch close his eyes to find his response. It's like he's searching deep down into his soul to find an answer. A true artist. One in a trillion.
lol he's just making sure he doesn't insult anyone
he is channeling the response. seems very normal for any artist who is inspired with endless ideas from the field.
Agree, when he talks about something that happened in his past, it feels almost like he's reimagining the memory in his mind's eye and then talking about that memory. Like he's putting himself back there and seeing the scene, and talking about what he's seeing.
some things are hard to put in words, yeah. we got two brains, a right and left, and lynch is anchored in his right

"If a piece of music is too loud it breaks the mood, and if it is too soft you don't feel it"
Couldn't be more on point
dougsours1 But Lynch often uses loud music! (I'm sure it's intentional.)
I just heard that and started to read and saw this comment
i will remember this one.
He's not crazy, insane, or a lunatic, he's an artist that creates one of a kind, original music, and film. I think he's awesome....
+Johnny Mireles He surprises a lot of people on just how normal he is. Did you see the Straight Story? A beautiful, charming road movie. He floored me with that movie. A filmmaker for the ages.
+Mark Hilton Well, exactly. He's not a psychopath. He's just a brilliant visual and storytelling artist.
+Mark Hilton Very underrated movie, beautiful.
he's a wonderful surrealist. love his work.
He said he was crazy and lunatic?
This guy has the greatest hair in the world. I hope I get to his age looking this cool.
Is it real hair though, wouldn't be so sure about this
hahahah there is people for everything.... conclusion of a 1 hour deep awesome interview : NICE HAIR......
Check out Samuel Beckett's hair. So boss!
@@shannonm.townsend1232 They have very similar hair and faces. If someone told me they were brothers I'd believe it, the hair is the same and their eyes...
i just hope i get to that age and still have hair
And I said "ooooh a moving painting."
major key!
"LSD"
HEHEHEHEH
@@LewisCostin
He actually wasn't on drugs, he says so when he recounts this story in his book Catching the Big Fish.
His films truly are moving paintings. Interpretive.
His imagination and way of thinking is so pure and chidlike. Childlike, meaning that he hasn’t been condition or corrupted into thinking he has to diminish his imagination in order to fit in. Most people have this wonder and imagination as a child but sadly try to diminish it for fear of being too different. David shows that embracing that part of yourself is rewarding and allows you to make creations that people are ultimately moved by.
for some, you cannot diminish it no matter how hard you try. It wants to be expressed. It is always thrilling to observe successful artists who have easily brought this 'ability' forward.
Advanced souls see through the 'fitting in' human concept, it's something we laugh at. "Must you value what others value, avoid what others avoid? How ridiculous!"- The Tao.
I think it's more that he has been through corruption, faced his shadow self and is now at peace with his being rather than being childlike - a mature and wise person has gone full circle back to happiness and peace but with the weight of knowing the evil within oneself and the world I think - and I'm not there yet but he is definitely an inspiration
It's called "beginner's mind"(Shoshin), a Buddhist concept of always starting with a fresh open mind. Losing all the opinions we gather through life that alter an experience because of preconceived notions. "It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would.(wikipedia)"
CHILDLIKE AS IN THA SHEER HORROR OF EXISTENCE
This is a superb interview, offering the Lynch devotee or newbie a whistle-stop tour through Lynch's creative process, his influences and (chronologically) his films. David Stratton, the interviewer, is respectful and knowledgeable, unlike some other Lynch interviewers (e.g. Letterman), who have treated him as a freakish object of comedy. I have time-indexed the topics covered, for my future use and (hopefully) that of others.
1:08 The importance of music to Lynch
2:15 The creative process
3:45 Art without borders; freedom of creativity
4:35 Meditation as an aid to creativity; Transcendental Meditation
8:00 Lynch's early years as an artist and film maker: Six Men Getting Sick; The Alphabet; The Grandmother
9:45 Eraserhead
11:50 The Elephant Man
16:40 Dune
17:30 Blue Velvet
22:07 Kafka
22:30 Wild at Heart
24:20 Improvisation
26:06 Twin Peaks
29:35 Fire Walk with Me
30:02 Another Twin Peaks TV series?
31:06 Edward Hopper; Rabbits
32:12 The Straight Story
34:12 Mulholland Drive
40:39 Inland Empire
46:38 Lynch in film and other media; communicating with actors and other media elements
49:16 Lynch in 3D?
50:10 Finishing a film and letting it go
51:10 Jacques Tati
52:30 David Lynch the musician and singer
55:12 Keeping a fresh eye; the need for objectivity in the creative process
56:16 Revisiting previous works
+the8ctagon thank you
the8ctagon thank you for this as Twin Peaks is the first thing I got into with regards to David Lynch, and I don't want to know any spoilers regarding his other works before I see them
the8ctagon thank you so much!
I'm just into the first few minutes of this, but I'm already impressed. You cannot compare an appearance on David Letterman with something like this.
Not to come off like a snob, but this is so much more sophisticated and intellectual, for lack of a better term.
As a graphic designer who is trying to revamp his career after having to take a lengthy hiatus, I know that this is going to be very inspiring, I'm being a huge fan of his work (and I had gone to art college just a couple miles from where he attended), The tools and technology are different, but the creative process is still the same.
Again, I am grateful that you are sharing this video, I really appreciate how you've indexed the topics and that you could quickly access. Very useful!
I always thought letterman was alright as far as late night hosts interviewing lynch went. Leno was a nightmare though, every word he said got a laugh no matter how beautiful and honest.
Stellar post
Anybody who turns down the opportunity to direct one of the original Star Wars sequels after it already became a phenomenon is bad ass. Lynch, you are a bad ass.
+adam ropp start wars is brainwashing mind polarizing propaganda crap. No wonder he got migraine just from being close to that unhealthy shit.)
propaganda for what?
He already got burned with Dune. No need to revisit that experience.
What he describes in the first few minutes, also makes one do in life what one lives to do. Even if it doesn't bring at all much money, just enough to survive even (we don't need much for that, too). Not to mention I imagine he already had more than, money, enough at that time.
@@marmeloid4494 tf?
I sat 10 feet away from David.
Happiest day of my life.
Do you prefer men?
Slavomir G You are very cool.
Canaan Stuart I've always been cool.
Pretty strong emotions for one joking comment on the internet
@James Hurley
Lynch's Fantasy pretty much anywhere,
1. Factories
2. Nude Woman at Night
How about women made in factory?
That's not... inaccurate.
@@aadityabhattacharya NAKED WOMEN IN A FACTORY
women* (plural)
"I'm not a musician or a singer but I do make music and I do sing." David is a creative genius
the reason we love lynch is because he always respects the audience's intelligence to identify with his art/work.
I was in the audience that night. I’ll treasure that experience forever. ❤
i think they should have let him smoke. you can tell he wants a cig.
if I had to choose one word to describe David Lynch that word would be: *_"genuine"_*
genuine artistic genius
David Lynch is constantly making a movie.
His life is a movie
Yeah, he's constantly on a catch of the ideas..a constant fisherman:)
David Lynch's films remind me of music. Art that evokes feeling without a needing to tell clear story.
another language, yeah
The common sense of creativity. People laugh at some of the answers given by David Lynch, because he explains his process in such simple and true terms. He's not pretentious at all.
i love david so much i feel like he really understands the human condition on a complex level and everytime he talks about it it makes me want to cry because i feel what he’s saying and it’s really rare to find someone that can just explain it plainly like he does
what a beautiful human being this David Lynch is...
He asks”But where did the title “Inland Empire” come?” “It came from the story...” I love how he says just enough and let’s it hang there. He doesn’t explain away his brilliance like Tarintino for example
True Tarantino talks much. He has much energy.
@@s.daniel2259 different cups of tea though, different strokes move the world. tarantino loves lynch and they are both rebels.
Interviewer forgot to mention Anthony Hopkins in The Elephant Man. Amazing actor, along with John Hurt, and an incredible film.
Fantastic interview and I am so grateful that the new Twin Peaks series got made. As fantastic as the original was, the Return miraculously managed to be even better.
A David Lynch virtual reality film is something I dream about
Well,were gonna get something like that.Here They Lie is a game for PS VR. Very surreal and creepy and dream like.
+sparklinggrey3. Yeah, okay.
adt2695 great comment.
sparklinggrey3. That was sarcasm - I feel as though you're just "saying that". That would be pandemonium.
Well... Dreams are mostly that, so...
Whenever I’m at a low ebb ..and feeling uninspired, David Lynch is always there. Love this man.
That’s why I’m here. In a world of illusion, I need to connect with a true human.
The man's hair is almost as impressive as his career
'Like gold coming in from within and like garbage going out'. 'My log is gold now'. This has shed new for me on what the log lady meant by that in her final call.
Adore this man. He puts me at peace. He searches for the humanity we all have inside of us. To find it you have to walk both through the darkness and light.
David Stratton is a world class interviewer. Very proud to be Australian here.
David: We are all human beings
Me: Absolutely brilliant what an artistic genius
Looking at how human beings treat one another, it shouldn't be surprising that the fact gets forgotten on a regular basis. Sometimes the obvious needs to be said.
To see and hear David Lynch talk gives me peace. He makes it look so easy. Amazing ideas just reach to him because they know he's the man to make them come true. I love him and his hairdo.
I'm so glad that he never limited himself as to only doing painting. His films and shows are amazing. With deep meaning and opened for interpratations.
"There's a thing called freedom in art. No restrictions." -David Lynch. My, how the industry has changed in the last 6 years.
I have only experienced bliss in dreams and half-sleep. There has been a couple of times when the alarm clock has dragged me out of my dream, and even if I don't remember what I dreamt or what I felt, I do remember that waking up was like suddenly being pushed into a cold ocean of hard reality. The other time was when I was taking the train in the middle of the night, and ended up stuck somewhere between sleep and being awake. I have no idea what it was, but that state of consciousness was so comfortable I could have stayed that way for thousand years without getting bored.
Hypnagogia, the transitional space between sleep and wakefulness. Don't let that state constrain your boundless creativity of lived experience.
@@wepsarIt’s an alright place to be really, good for the mind
He is the greatest director of my lifetime and it is by no small margin, he is 1000 x's better than my second favorite artist. No one can do it like Lynch. He is the master.
balbanes1 agree 100%.
Damn straight! No one even comes close.
+balbanes1 when you say master you mean GOD right?
He's not infallible, nor is any artist. He is in a very elastic genre where his goofs can be covered up by the veil of surrealism
+NazcarFanatic24 And what, you know when he goofs up?
Even though David is not happy with the final cut of DUNE, i love it so much. So so creative and truly otherworldy.
"We live inside a dream."
Dream State Films our real home is Heaven 😃💜🇦🇺
Dream State Films if you watch enough Lynch, you'll begin to feel the same way.
...but who is directing it? That's the question
I love how he shuts down the notion of improvisation! So many movies today have their stars or directors doing press for the movies talking about what a great time it was and how much we improvise this scene and that scene and did this and did that and joked around set and pulled pranks... I cannot for one second imagine David Lynch putting up with any of that BS. I love how he defended the script, because it is a vision, the screenwriter wrote it and it should be faithfully represented, 100%. How great it must be to work for a director who has that much loyalty to a vision.
It gets thrown around a lot but I think David Lynch is truly a genius.
This man is the best artist in modern Film making - best until now - his works are thought provoking, surreal and non stereotype - that's what makes them unique and fresh.
lynch and kubrick are the best ever
They're also full of feeling and emotion
David is one of the great masters of film along with Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and Buñuel,
Burnintreez321 nope
Lynch is on its own league, no one like him, ever.
And Wim!✌😎
I'm glad you mentiom Tarkowsky. Definately many aspects in common although their films are (naturally) different (or they'd not have anything in common).
I've never heard Lynch questioned about Tarkowsky but I'd just assume Lynch was a fan.
What a shit list. Bet your read it in some article by another poser.
What a lovely man... :)
every restriction is sadness that can kill creativity
and yet his films are full of restrictions imposed by society, culture and law. for example no scenes of real sex. the freedom argument is just silly.
It's still freedom if you willingly obey your own restrictions. You loose freedom only when there are these external boundaries that do not align with yours.
You sound like perfect prey for his cult! Fab. Every restriction is sadness? I restrict killing and rape from my part of the world, what colour is the sky in yours?
Loose or lose? wait - I'm killing your existential groove by placing restrictions on spelling so I can understand your intent. Sorry mate.
The word of sin is restriction
"such a freedom this brings"
my master
Hearing this man speaking his peculiar mind is like enjoying a fine meal!
It took me a long time to appreciate Lynch’s work. Now, I think he’s quite extraordinary.
DUNE 1984 and TWIN PEAKS brought me here. David Lynch is a genius 😊
Thank you very much, David Lynch .☕😁☕

Receiving ideas and then making a film from them is a true gift.
How could anybody not love David Lynch? Genius.
David Lynch is in touch with the twilight zone that exists between wake and sleep. In fact, he probably does his work there. This is the kind of thing people think you need LSD to explore. But somehow he has the ability to slip in and out at will. He understands that area of consciousness and he knows how to recreate it.
He's one of my biggest influences as a composer

I love the pace at which they are talking. Not rushing like most of us. some gentlemen!
where a yellow light means slow down, not speed up
7:10 So Gold comes in, Garbage gets out, much like in Twin Peaks:The Return in episode 8, where garbage comes out of Mother/Judy, where bob and other negative feelings came out and gold comes in or out from the Giant's head... neat.
Exactly, sometimes Lynch is quite literal
@@TungstenViper Right. In many ways, that sequence is quite straightforward - if you know Lynch's ideas.
32:50 So tender, tears in my eyes
And he is gentle, the two of them actually - which made the moment even more pleasant -.
What an absolutely amazing artist. I'm in awe.
I just love David Lynch! His mind is out of this world. 👏🏻 I started meditation recently and it has changed how i view the world and myself. 🙌🏻
58:42 Same for me. TM is a super natural do good tool, and David Lynch is simply the best.
Such a kind, well mannered, intelligent, educated, outspoken and good hearted person, he's simply just fabulous.
Definitely one of my favourite people of all time, ever.
When David Lynch said it’s lynchin’ time and lynched all over the place, I thought he was truly one of the people of all time
"Unbounded creativity." That sums him up perfectly. I hope he never stops. I love David Lynch! (And the way he keeps his eyes shut for half the interview.)
I'm thoughtful because I discovered you as a child Mr David Lynch. I already knew I was an artist, but you make me proud of being an artist. Even though people make stupid comments when I tell them I'm an artist. Thank you Mr Lynch.
Every single time I watch a David Lynch Video he talks about ideas
this is the closest to a time-traveler coming from another dimension to enlighten and at the same time confound us simple humans.
he is amazing and beautiful and wonderful he speaks the truth
"Oh , a moving painting!" David Lynch, a man able to see gifs when gifs didn´t exist yet. XD I love this man.
Best reply for this video. I'll stop scrolling now.

You are one miserable person…
FYI David Lynch actually has a channel so your bullshit is immediately stopped
The fact that you took the time to respond those these comments is so sad.
I swear I’ve never seen anyone who thinks like this. Nobody does. The flow of one thought to another is as wholesome as it’s insightful and definitely original. And that’s what the public sees. Makes ya Wonder what a character he must be among friends and relations.
for those that know, the remark by mel brooks that lynch was like "jimmy stewart from mars".. seems to me that lynch is actually metamorphosing into that very person around about 26 mins. in.
thanks whoever posted. this guy is hugely formative for me...
If I had a chance to meet just one person in life to be with him or her it would be Lynch. He gives so much and he has that ability to transport very darkish and deep topics in a very upcheering way.
I remember being there and almost having a heart attack when he said S3 of Twin Peaks may not happen.
Same. I left there that day feeling like I had a major existential crisis.

What an absolutely wonderful, intelligent and articulate man.The interviewer is very respectful in the presence of a true genius.
I can't stop smiling.
David Lynch is such an authentic person. He makes me glad to be alive.
I think Yoda and David gets their inspiration from the same part of the force
we look at him and he is so kind and genuinely happy. it's a honor to share the same world with you, David
I love his work , and his creative process is other worldly . He taps the depths of his subconscious and pulls ideas from dreams , he is one artist who doesn't have to keep up with trends or cater to the approval of the status quo. His work is a rewarding and personal experience for him and gives him joy first and foremost. This is something David and I have in common.
We are creative and if the public likes the work all well and good .
I havent loved , actually fell IN love, with an artist, since Alan Rickman. I absolutely WORSHIP David Lynch. What a brilliant man, and such a pure soul!
This is such a treat - David Lynch is just enthralling to listen to! Thank you for posting this.
Great interview!
A true film maker, one of a kind.
All Lynch’s interview video is good to practice English listening. Slow, exact pronunciation, and interesting contents...
Wow thank you this interview is gold
As much as he regrets making it, I thought Dune was absolutely brilliant.
Quincy Tran he thinks it's shit. I think it's 80 percent good ideas. 20 percent brilliant ones on screen. The rest is lynch compromising with studios and trying to remain artistic in such a strange place for him to be playing.
Dune was good....imaginative,deep,atmospheric and somewhat mysterious...i had fun watching it...just wish it was longer
DAVID STRATTON VERY BRILLIANT AND LOVABLE INTERWIEVER
7:59 A Moving Painting, Lynch’s first film. Even before he had the money he was A genius person.
Motion picture.
This was so great to watch live.
Thank you uploading this beautiful interview!❤🙏
