I've been working with art for decades now and this is my advice to creative people who are just starting out: if you wish to learn from a genius like this, don't just imitate his style, the dwarves and the red rooms. You can open yourself to your subconsciousness, too, just like he's saying. Above all you learn from yourself, but when you learn from him, if you're called John Smith, you'll be making Smithian art, not Lynchian art. Listen to your own voice!
I disagree. I believe the Romans' idea still works today, first imitatio, then aemulatio. You take inspiration until you can combine those and create a unique work of art.
@@writingwofl5836 Look, I'm not saying don't ever take influences from anybody. That's going to happen subconsciously anyway. As Willliam Burroughs put it: "Look, listen and transcribe, and forget about being original." It's just that there are so many artists that seem to think that following some kind of a formula is going to get them into the heart of it. I would much rather hallucinate like an automaton, breaking every rule should they not suit me. Following the muse, if we wanna go back to Greco-Roman ideas. Imitations are going to come out of it, sure. We're pattern-noticing species anyway. It's only the conscious drive some people have of doing everything like their idol that worries me.
Well Jim Morrison just quoting Huxley though? As for me I know many things and have many ideas what I don't have that I used to is any desire to create.
This is so wonderfully accurate to what the creative process is really like. Especially the analogy of ideas coming in fragments, and the rest is in a room somewhere, complete. So true.
But isn't it beautiful to know that you'll never be in that room? What you find altogether still doesn't always make alot of sense but it is just enough to make any.
@@pinnip4974 but that's what keeps you working and moving forward. That puzzle is always expanding the more pieces you get, then you look up and you have a lifetime of work
David Lynch is the one director or creator to be more exact that really opened my mind to how I develop ideas now. I try to think way deeper and find the right ideas for any creative project I do. Big inspiration and one of my fave directors of all time.
That's honestly one of the best descriptions of the creative process I've ever heard. I once heard somewhere that creativity isn't so much as something you can conjure up when you need to, but more something that's loose and floating around the world, and you just need to get yourself into the state where you can catch it.
I'm always eager to hear an artist's response to, "Where do your ideas come from?", but there's never a real answer. Nobody really knows. They just come. The only thing to do is train yourself to watch for them while you noodle around.
I love this interview because the interviewer understands. I hate it when the interviewer doesn't understand the person he is interviewing. The amount of times someone has asked Lynch a question and he gave a poetic answer and the interview didn't know wtf it meant is is unbelievable. Professional interviewer's should always research who they are interviewing
I like the song of David's called I'll,, logical way of thinking a movie or short thing about how on earth did that one come about,,,I want a press conference symposium thing all the details of the song interview homework for Marissa or Amy Fisher 🤣👍🛩️😃🎶 David's the cool character under certain meet of requirements he'd let Amy interview.
Tonight I lost my notebook. One minute later I went back and the street cleaners had already done sweeping the spot where I think I accidentally dropped it. So yeah, I hope you're right.
It's very grating how many trite interviewers ask David Lynch to explain where his ideas come from (and what they mean). It does the poor bastard a disservice, and forces him to give equally hackneyed answers. I suppose it's nice that they appreciate his work enough to express their curiosity, but literally nobody can explain where their ideas on anything come from. Ideas suddenly pop into our head randomly, and things basically develop from there. Ideas are "aha!" moments; they come to us suddenly, without explanation - and that's what makes them so magical. They are a way for our intuition (another "thing" that can't be explained in any pat or logical way) to express itself. And therein lies the beauty. You only need a basic grasp of what's happening in a Lynch film to enjoy/appreciate it. Not every little bloody thing needs to be decoded and explained, or it starts to detract from the proceedings. There's a beautiful inarticulacy to his work, which is what makes it so haunting and powerful in the first place. I'm truly grateful we're all being gifted with another season of Twin Peaks, and I hope to God he somehow scrapes together the funds to make another film! That would be miraculous.
It's a disease in the art world really but too many people take themselves seriously so they pretend they KNOW where they come from. It only serves for art to become demystified and ultimately it becomes a commodity.
Once you found the answer to the following question: How did man think before there were words? Then you'll get ideas, so many and so big - that a fraction of a second will be enough to fill many books.
god youtube comment section is an amazing place to go if you're in search of pseudo-profundity. If you think for just a couple of minutes you'll make the realization on your own that ideas are much more raw than the words we use to communicate them. If you are a person of ideas than this is elementary even if it's not an express thought you've had before. So? Where are all my grand ideas to change the path of mankind now?
hahahahah you're great. But you are making my point for me, you are doubting the abilities that you said I'd have if I answered your question. Well, I did. So what now? P.S. Life is not a sandbox game that you can just turn godmode on. You are toting your "civilization model" by trying to sound intelligent in a youtube comment section. If you have half the ideas you claim to have, try being productive instead of being a pretentious know-it-all. It might be best to start simple and move out your moms basement first, then you can implement your "civilization model" lmao
***** You sound pretty ignorant and arrogant - usually a bad combination. How did you get your idea about a new civilization? Did it come to you by working on it or just out of nowhere? And what is model, how does it work?
we were laughing because there was so much tension in that room! Mr. Holdengraber did such a lousy job conducting this interview and getting anything out of David, that it was a relief to have humorous moments like this.
How do you know for sure what couple of dozens of people know? I definitely know nothing about the way of knowing what other people think judging by the way they react off-screen:)
I akin so much to how he articulates what creativity is. I'm in no way comparing myself to him, I just mean that I "get" what he means when he talks about these things. The mind of an artist is perhaps banally enigmatic, but it's true. There are things we see in our mind's eye which we bring to life.
There have been 2 recent phases in my life, one of them, I acted on my ideas, and the other, I didn't. It doesn't take much to guess which stage was amazing and which one was stagnant and aimless.
Some people's ideas come from their imagination other people get their ideas from bearing witness to reality and it just depends how horrifying or surreal their reality actually is.
Is the full video of this available online anywhere? This is the first one of these types of interviews with Lynch that actually looks like someone is having a conversation with him, rather than reading pre-prepared questions & not engaging with what he's saying
I went to high school with Paul Holdengraber and when it came time to dribble a basketball he started asking all these lame philosophical questions about the pain and confusion that the ball symbolized and coach just told him to shut up and run 50 laps around the gym. I think he collapsed somewhere in the neighborhood of lap 15 - 17 and, later that week, he brought a note co-signed by his mother & doctor saying he was to be exempt from physical exertion. Not really though I think he's a little older than me.

You seemed special so I put you in a pool, and bred you. You kept giving me so many fish, that I had no idea what to do with them all; but I went back to the stream one day. I remembered how I used to fish, and suddenly, all my ideas began to make sense. All of the fish I had caught made sense. I could place this fish with that fish, let these fish mingle over there, do a little of that, and I could just let the ideas work for themselves. All I had to do was let them flow, watch, and take it in. Every fish is an idea. Every fish can be part of a bigger better school
The interviewer is as good as Adam Eget.
Next time he visits that bridge, he should ask for interviewing tips on top of the regular.
I wonder where Adam Eget gets his ideas from.
Maybe the interviewer masturbate less, he wouldn’t ask another that how idea comes up from head
David Lynch is clearly the right guy to ask that question though. Super Dave? not so much.
Ah, but he's a good guy.
this guy is so brilliant... "Its comes like a tv in your mind" because both TV and the conscience are proyective media :´)
Never a dull moment
He's a delight.

I get mine from Ralphs.
I smell ideas
I had an idea of a multiplayer monopoly game in Google maps.
"It's a beautiful thing to think about."
"The think about it a bit."
"No, you think about it."

I wonder what was the interviewer even trying to ask?

You said it all
Lynch just copied others himself. The stuff he did was already done by dark romanticists 200 years ago. He just americanized it.

No, if I’m not mistaken, this interview was conducted during his Queensboro Bridge phase.
This man is an inspiration and I admire him so much.
I love him and I love twin peaks👍♥

That's right. But for good ideas need isolation. Lot of information will kill ideas. Ideas comes when mind is clear.
Agreed
that's why he meditates probably
I love that cheeky grin at the start... he knows people want more than the simple truth and he loves it.
Seriously, great hair. Something to aspire to at that age. Lookin' sharp Dave!

David Lynch is such a cool dude. Great filmmaker!
IN THE OTHER ROOM ...over there......
Really good ideas don't need to be written so not to be forgotten. Really good ideas come again and again. Like a recurring dream or nightmare.
Tonight I lost my notebook. One minute later I went back and the street cleaners had already done sweeping the spot where I think I accidentally dropped it. So yeah, I hope you're right.
Crendor's impression really is spot-on
David Lynch in conversation with Adam Eget
he doesn't meant to be funny.
Witchuta Watjanarat I think he does from time to time. I think he made a great joke at the end. Twin Peaks is full of great comedy.
He didn't mean to be funny but he went with the flow when people laughed cause he's cool like that.
Why’d I think the thumbnail was a hot ones interview
His daughter is also a director she just directed the last episode of the walking dead
What's his daughter's Name?
12 people didn't think about it.
I love David Lynch.
I may not like all his work, but he seems to be the most passionate human being and seeing it is very inspiring
People laugh when he says where do ideias come from!
If people only knew what a human being is in reality!
ideas comes from our impressions in brain made by world.
The first line sums it up perfectly, I've written so many stories that started out as a scene that seemed to organically unfold in my mind.

what you know is consciousness.
ideas come from unconsciousness.
because if they came from consciousness, you would have known it.
That's my experience, too. Ideas come in fragments. If I work at documenting them, I end up with an a ha ecperience and see the whole section.
