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

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.

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.

How could anybody not love David Lynch? Genius.

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.

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.

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 .

What an absolute gem.

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.
