Thanks for posting the video I needed to hear this. Growing up I had a highschool teacher name Ms. Weiss she told a class full of young artist that “ I don’t believe that all of you are artist. Artist are people who have proven themselves have career. Not everyone is an artist”. I took this message to heart that the only way I could be an artist if if I was paying bills with my art.then I went to art college and was told that my work had to explore serious themes. Most of it was marketing concepts to art galleries. Less about genuine art exploration. I was concerned about how was going to make money as an artist that I stopped enjoying making art. I would look at blank peices of paper racked with anxiety on how is this going to make me money. I lost love of making. It was only until recently when I got rid of this notion that I got to create again.
A bad teacher by the sounds of things. A teacher's job is to inspire students, perhaps a failed artist themselves, but true art is in the creation and expression regardless of monetary value added by capitalists afterwards. David Lynch always embodied constant creativity and he was always very humble about being lucky. Follow inspiration wherever it goes and if money follows or not, so be it
I'd argue if anything the opposite to what your teacher said is true. If you're producing something solely for money then you're not creating art, you're making a product. Now life isn't that black and white and there's many shades of grey inbetween but I hope you get my jist.
Yes I’m on this journey has a writer but mainly a sports, news & documentary photographer. The sheer passion & the journey consumes you. Your driven by the stories & through this you attract money.
the sheer faith and resilience to continually have to stop, then go raise money again, so you can shoot another little portion of the thing you're trying to make is crazy. if you ask me, that's the real genius of a man like lynch. almost nobody can do that.
He’s right about titles. One person has many things within them. We all do. And you go where the inspiration takes you. I’ve been a musician for over half my life at this point. And I’m not sure if I’m done. What next? Maybe a carpenter, a lover, a father, or perhaps a writer, or even a mechanic. These are all things that call to me these days. It takes incredible courage to begin again.
Don't make art with the expectation of making a career or making money. There's an extraordinary amount of luck necessary for anyone to make art for a living, and if instead you just continue to make art because you love to do (and don't quit your day job) maybe that passion may bloom into something more.
In America, creative careers are only for those with generational wealth. That's why you get a bunch of vapid trash being created by American filmmakers. While the good stuff comes from people whose talents are grown overseas. Look how many great European directors there are. They became great because their nations supported their growth. Nobody born in America will ever have that opportunity.
I believe it does. If you follow your integrity and faith in the process, eventually and organically you can find the “funding” for what you want to continue doing .
@ like he said he said “if there’s a will, there’s a way.” I’ve had to sacrifice things in order to continue with my art and support basic survival needs.
I wish these ideas and attitudes were still around today. Media has completely changed, there is no cinematic experience anymore. The world and society is run by 'content.' Maybe I'm a cynic.
"I wish these ideas and attitudes were still around today." They are still around, but most of it lives within the indie film community, rather than "big" industries such as Hollywood.
all the interesting stuff is in the underground and there are people paying attention to that. there’s only faith that things from the underground bloom a resonance that attracts commercially minded people at some point in the future.
You're a bit of a cynic, and that attitude can blind you to the very thing you're looking for! Stay curious, and remember to polish your glasses and assumptions of the world REGULARILY! especially if you consume alot of media! The real world is still right there, exactly as it's always been.
Yes, unfortunately a lot of bs and prejudices in Art world, thanks God there are people like David Lynch who brings inspiration & the light to things that really matter 🤍🤍🤍
We're all just going where inspiration takes us. The difference with artists and visionaries is that they know they're doing it. They're just going the flow of reality. There's a deep faith about it.
I love David Lynch talking about being an artist. I'm an artist, too. I've published a book of poetry and it's nothing but grief. No money and half my critics think I'm a genius and half my critics think I'm insane.
People who insist that money is the motive behind art are simply trying to justify why they have no talent or true passion for it. Case and point this condescending interviewer
Yes . Just look at outsider art made by psychiatric patients and people with savant syndrome. They know not of fame or fortune or even popularity, but are just compelled to create.
People ask this man the most ridiculous questions. They all want hype and drama and tricks and categories, but it's completely beside the point. I would rather ask Lynch about one thing from his week that he found interesting, and wouldn't matter if it was the way his salad for lunch looked. Trying to treat a surrealist like a businessman or a talk show host is crazy...
Lynch comes from a background in Arts. Film to him is but a moving painting with sound. One of his very first shorts is the animation of a painting. No wonder he has this attitude towards filmmaking - and therefore a few more commercial experiences like DUNE were so hurtful to him. For a while he could take Advertising gigs, but on a time when he was already big enough to deliver commercial short films that were really out there - and brands were OK with it because they were signature productions.
He does say you need a fair amount of luck/fortune in the first place That or will Will does a lot more than we give it credit for (probably because most people have a low will and find excuses for many things), but more sacrifices have to be made, whereas fortune requires less
Yes well he's a creative person but he likely would have been a carpenter or something more practical and creative if film didn't work out he started out with painting in art school and yes I think his parents were supportive of him to help financially most don't have that but you can just have a hobby photography or carving whatever I think David is socially awkward too but he's still expressive and interesting.
During those 5 years, what was Lynch doing to stay alive, pay rent, etc? Was he working a full-time job to sustain himself? Did he have an inheritance? Etc
he delivered the Wall street journal for a while to live and to finance Eraserhead. I think he got some kind of grant and had room and board at the film institute.
I love that they still brought up MONEY. Because let's be real many of the great were either already rich, or know people who are rich, or.... you know. This is a privilege to be able to just create
trying to do this now. it’s hard because we’re taught that if you’re not making money then it means you’re wasting time.
that should change gradually now that you see that making money IS wasting time
Trust the synchronicity of the universe. It’s not like fast food.
He's absolutely magnetic, totally mesmerizing to look at. That handwave. I feel like I'm being mesmerized.
that handwave felt like he was trying to make his thoughts stay in line by syncing with the movement of it
it was such a nice detail
An interview with David Lynch's right hand, ...
@@eternaldoorman5228 I've seen him eating a donut for two minutes straight and he had me hypnotized.
Bro got rizzed💀
He was a magician.
Oh man!!!! We lost an icon today😢 He is one of my favorite directors. I see him sitting in that chair in the White Lodge right about now…..

god he was such a real artist and not in a bullshit way. he was the best.
The anti Rick Rubin. Lynch was the real deal
@@personalprogress7876 how's rick rubin anti artist?
I love how much this applies to all art forms, and to be honest many ways of life
Yes I’m on this journey has a writer but mainly a sports, news & documentary photographer. The sheer passion & the journey consumes you. Your driven by the stories & through this you attract money.
David is so human. Resonates deeply.
I wish I had as clear a vision as David
patience
the sheer faith and resilience to continually have to stop, then go raise money again, so you can shoot another little portion of the thing you're trying to make is crazy. if you ask me, that's the real genius of a man like lynch. almost nobody can do that.
Beautiful - agree with him completely. That hair btw. Such a handsome fella.
He was such a beautiful man and so incredibly brilliant. 🥰
He is so great! Just listening to him is very liberating for me. ❤
The world without David Lynch, vastly diminished.
He’s right about titles. One person has many things within them. We all do. And you go where the inspiration takes you. I’ve been a musician for over half my life at this point.

My cosmic brother
David Lynch Was his Art...His Vision....Himself...there will be no more David Lynch...a strange wonderful singularity.
Man, I've never met you, but man I miss you.
Eraserhead is pure art , as if macabre good be personified
This is my vibration. It’s not about money career as he says it’s about the idea.

@@RyanVoorhiescan't make art unless I got the money to eat and have a roof over my head.
@ like he said he said “if there’s a will, there’s a way.” I’ve had to sacrifice things in order to continue with my art and support basic survival needs.
rest in peace David. :(

i can't believe hes gone man... first time a celebrity death actually hit me
Entertainment killed art. Let's bring it back to life.
And this is why Lynch is loved by so many.
A brilliant mind. I'm in awe watching him.
Yes, unfortunately a lot of bs and prejudices in Art world, thanks God there are people like David Lynch who brings inspiration & the light to things that really matter 🤍🤍🤍
"WHERE IS THE WILL THERE IS A WAY" - I love it!
I hope he is in his favourite dreamplace..... 😢
Thank You Mr. Lynch
We're all just going where inspiration takes us. The difference with artists and visionaries is that they know they're doing it. They're just going the flow of reality. There's a deep faith about it.
He's a dreamweaver
I love David Lynch talking about being an artist. I'm an artist, too. I've published a book of poetry and it's nothing but grief. No money and half my critics think I'm a genius and half my critics think I'm insane.

Yeah or they have too much money and the arts are just another form of real-estate to them in which they are completely devoid of imagination
Yes . Just look at outsider art made by psychiatric patients and people with savant syndrome. They know not of fame or fortune or even popularity, but are just compelled to create.
Great career advice.
He just gave a big hint about spells in the end. Don't call yourself anything!
Amen.
I admire his integrity, rip
People ask this man the most ridiculous questions. They all want hype and drama and tricks and categories, but it's completely beside the point. I would rather ask Lynch about one thing from his week that he found interesting, and wouldn't matter if it was the way his salad for lunch looked.

Spoken by a true genius ❤ I bet that less than 1% of this worlds socalled artists, even knows what he’s talking about.
Hey RUclips AI: get it straight, I don’t want to see any more goddamn David Lynch’s recommendations!
I love this man

You’ll be sorely missed
There’s no point where you go, “Oh I’m successful I’ll take a nap now.”
sounds wonderful but alot of us can’t afford or are not good socially (usually both)
So true. Not everyone of us can do whatever it is we dream of.
@@williamneal9076But we can find ways to contribute to or inspire what we want. There are a lot of social roles for people in the art world.
He does say you need a fair amount of luck/fortune in the first place
That or will
Will does a lot more than we give it credit for (probably because most people have a low will and find excuses for many things), but more sacrifices have to be made, whereas fortune requires less

You can work slowly, like Lynch did on Eraserhead. If you want to create something, it is up to you to actually do it 🤷♂️
Yes, he's absolutely right. Money is a side effect but fuck, if you love films. Just do it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome
During those 5 years, what was Lynch doing to stay alive, pay rent, etc? Was he working a full-time job to sustain himself? Did he have an inheritance? Etc
he delivered the Wall street journal for a while to live and to finance Eraserhead. I think he got some kind of grant and had room and board at the film institute.
Its over. No season 4
genius
Ok but why is he sitting in the chair from Peewee's Playhouse?
lol
I imagine he was probably looking to make a film.
Capitalism limits art in the most terrible way. Artists should be able to create freely
Holy shit is he ever right about that.
Weird that the interviewer is not miked…
Quentin & Lynch really should have lunch.
I love that they still brought up MONEY. Because let's be real many of the great were either already rich, or know people who are rich, or.... you know. This is a privilege to be able to just create
