*"If a person forgets an idea that they love, it's a horror, and it can lead to a real yearning to commit suicide." ~David Lynch* Explaining my life in one sentence better than 20 years of therapy, lol.
no i get that, i wouldn't get quite that depressed, but as an artist it can be real sad, especially if you know it's a really good one, and i feel like a dream, some of the most best ones are almost out of reach like that.
bo derrick hell yeah! I was so shocked and happy that my question was picked and David gave a very thorough answer, I downloaded the video onto my computer, I’ll cherish that forever 😊
Reminder that he wasn’t just supporting himself, but that he had a wife and a kid during this time too. Which makes it even more nuts. I really lost the generational lottery not being a boomer.
Yeah but the real problems comes when you start getting ideas for music. I’m not imaginative enough to describe music in words enough for it to come back “in full”.
David Lynch seems always to be "just in this moment". He is so full of awareness, you can feel the electricity in the air around him. :D I think that's why we say he has such a presence, because he is so present. He had an important impact on my life. Thank you David for everything!
David may have mentioned that when he was in Philadelphia he enjoyed the sound of train whistles. I live a mile from the SEPTA tracks. The whistles are a welcome sound, soothing, almost mysterious.
I would take a guess at plenty of Braggs Amino Acid on his food, darn good coffee and down home cherry pie. Also a little TM wouldn't hurt. Have a great summer!
Oh, i love seeing someone who reads Gramsci and loves Lynch. I am in the same situation my friend, i used that phrase yesterday for an essay. See you in the struggle
It's okay. When I first saw him in the video I thought 'damn he's so old now' and I was dismayed at the thought of losing Lynch, which will happen sooner or later. I can scarcely imagine a world without him and his brilliant ideas.
Noticed the „electrical interference“ and expected discourse about this in the comments. Safe to say, I was not disappointed. I think, when people start to consider the meaning of an error, a slip-up, an interference, and not just being put off by it or see it as some thing that interferes, they are beginning to find meaning in the erroneous and it opens the mind to a more complete view of the world. The error is part of the experiment and by improvising around it and even incorporating the fault into the work it will spark new ideas. Wonderful!
"These bleak times are necessary to go through in order to get to a much, much, much better place." ... so perfect. This is the philosophy I've noted in much of David's work. There's no light without the dark.
@@giorgiocitarella6584 I recommend a cup of british tea with semi-skimmed milk. No sugar. Also when you pour the water in and stir the tea bag, shake the carton of milk for a few seconds and add a tiny bit of it to your tea. This should add a nice layer of cream to the top. Simple, easy and just two calories.
This is amazing. I hope there are many of these. It's an invaluable record of the thoughts of one of the greatest artist of all time. It's important. Only suggestion is where possible don't ask him questions he had already gone over before.
Absolutely love David Lynch! Have followed him for nearly 35 years. His answer on "bleak times" confirms how tuned in his is, into every plane of existence :) brilliant man!
Someone once asked the Dali lama if we were getting closer or further away from the divine? (I believe that is the word that they used) He said; OH, much closer... you can see all the evils in the world now exposing themselves. What David said, reminded me of that. Their are very few people like David.
I love David Lynch, he's just so wholesome person. He brings me back faith in this world. There is so much content in this video that I definetely should rewatch it later, there's so much to think of.
Mr. Lynch, you have my respect and gratitude for all the feelings and thoughts that your work has caused me. I am convinced that you are not earthly. I admire you unlimitedly.
I love how Mr. Lynch repeats every question before answer them
This shows how he really tries to understand and get to the bottom of the question
He even repeats the names of who asked it and refers to them by their username almost as if he's directly talking to them; It's so lovely.
Arhum yeah that’s what really gets me. The dude has no discernible ego.
good because I can barely hear what sabrina is saying
It's for YOU, the audience. The producer probably told him to repeat the question since the audio is only recording his voice.
I love that he put his suit on to answer our questions.
"Our questions" xD
@Vetril Dease what?
He’s a professional
He is a perpetual lesson in the art of respect to self and others.
i think that suit is the only thing in his wardrobe. that and the black button up which he also wears with the suit
He is the most interesting person alive.

"Electrical interference is on audio track sometimes"
*people who have watched Twin Peaks starts digging*
This is the only channel where reading that would cause you to ask "is that intentional, or...?"
HAHAHAHAHHAA YES
also 360p video from a freaking hollywood FILM DIRECTOR, and his longtime producer is the lady reading the questions!? I smell creative intent
Sabrina's t-shirt could be a clue :P
@@Momon143 no doubt the thought occurred to me!
When David Lynch talks, the world slows down.
What else the world would do anyway ?
Listening to him is like meditation to me , it just make my day bright and beautiful , i can enjoy every second of the day
Still has the great hair.
His hair gets better with time
The best
Yeah
It really is fantastic
Yes!!!

He dresses up for it.

Lol. I love that he insists that he cannot sip coffee and listen to a question at the same time.

That's especially encouraging to me right now ☺️
Wow! David answered my question, I’m so happy!

Keep David's words with you and be inspired by them.
@@jeanpaulmichell7243 I certainly will!
Where did you ask the questions?
I'm so happy he's heard Cigarettes After Sex. The first time I heard this band, I felt they should've been one of the band's in The Return.
This is my first time hearing about them and they are great
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what other bands we both listen to.
First time I ever heard them I was skating down this long path as it was getting dark out and it was the most peaceful moments I can remember
Would have been perfect at The Roadhouse
i remember going to their show in austin alone when i was 15 and heartbroken, it was truly an atmosphere all in its own league.

“Very rarely have dreams impacted my work.” -David Lynch, 2020
Which is interesting since so much work uses dreams as a theme or storytelling device.
broke: getting story ideas from dreams
woke: getting story ideas from transcendental meditation
In my experience it's my conscious thoughts that influence my dreams
Interesting. I like that!
I wish I could say the same for me.
"I worked one hour a day, five days a week, and it was enough to live on"... *cries in 21st century*
well if you dont want much it can be enough...
BarbART 5hrs a week of a menial job in 2020? That’s gonna be about 300-500 USD a month. Nobody can live off of that.
tbf he was living in a shed on the set of eraserhead at the time
@@glycolictonic - That's why he needed FIVE YEARS to make it, our guy never worked for real!

David Lynch you are a ray of sunshine and a slice of cherry pie 🍒
The inadvertent sound interference makes this the Lynchiast of Lynchian interviews!
Thank you, David Lynch.
Thank you, Sabrina Sutherland.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT HURTS
We need to crowdfund a big sign with the word "PROJECT" on it and send it to David
It warms my heart that david has a favorite string
David is just such cute and goodhearted guy. Top grandfather material.
Please COME BACK TO CINEMA DAVID. WE NEED A NEW DAVID LYNCH MOVIE PLEASEEEE❤️
LOVE FROM ITALY
Si è vero , please be generous to the world, please more movies
Someone needs to get David a billboard that says "Project" for his birthday
"Captain Negativity asks..."
Lol.
This whole video is lovely. Thank you David.
I thought I'd only listen to a minute or two. But I couldn't stop listening.
"If a person forgets an idea that they love, it's a horror and it could lead to a real yearning to commit suicide"-David Lynch
It really sucks to forget something like that, even if it's just a sentence or two for a story.
Yeah but the real problems comes when you start getting ideas for music. I’m not imaginative enough to describe music in words enough for it to come back “in full”.
David is a GREAT man..
It's a pure joy listening to Mr. Lynch answering random fan questions 😀 Thank you so much, and you too Sabrina!
You are welcome!
Sabrina being here... Makes everything with more joy, seeing the producer and the director together makes me feel a lot of joy..
Thank you!
Very grateful for this EXPERIMENT / PROJECT
When I listen to this guy I feel like I’m in a deep dream, both because his voice and he talks about psychological terms and art altogether:)
I love You Mr Lynch. Can't explain how much I own to You.
Thank you for this Sabrina and David! (:
You are welcome! :)
@@DAVIDLYNCHTHEATER Much love Sabrina :) Your work is very underappreciated!
David listens to Cigarettes After Sex. Amazing.
Have some great musical taste. Had...and still have.

“What sound brings you the most joy?” David: Sound brings me the most joy
My answer would have been when the microwaved dinged... glad he came up with something more eloquent
David may have mentioned that when he was in Philadelphia he enjoyed the sound of train whistles. I live a mile from the SEPTA tracks. The whistles are a welcome sound, soothing, almost mysterious.

Oh, i love seeing someone who reads Gramsci and loves Lynch. I am in the same situation my friend, i used that phrase yesterday for an essay.

And now I see somebody quoting Gramsci under David Lynch's video. What a time to live!
I can't tell you how grateful I am for this.
David Lynch is full of wisdom about inner peace, creativity and of course filmmaking. He is so indispensable, thanks doing this Q&A.
More I watch David talk, more I realize he could be my only/true friend.
