David Lynch at AFI Dallas Film Festival

[@marcdellorusso180]

" I would like to do surgeries, but not brain surgeries..." David Lynch always has the best dialogue.

[@Antenna_to_Heaven]

Marco Dellorusso hahah what a king !! I LOLed when he said that

[@offline7607]

david lynch incredible filmaker . RESPECT FROM RUSSIA .

[@Dannypeeping]

Great ending. Amen to that brother!

[@GAZDAGP]

[@jonaskiste5402]

Thanks!

[@ambitiouskant6603]

lol that's how you end a interview. He is a national treasure.

[@neillaw]

Thanks lol

[@SejinLifeforce]

Oh, he is so absorving. Having watched this, I will now have to learn more about him. He must be an inspiration for young film makers. I am inspired even though I am neither young nor a film maker.

[@alanski2005]

Great interview with Mr Lynch. Intelligent questions, classic answers.

[@0ZNS]

"Your surgeon today will me Mr. David Lynch." "Noooooo!"

[@Caffiend]

God, he just loves that fishing analogy. There's about a million interviews and what not where he just randomly throws this fishing thing in there. It's like trying to interview a Talking G.I.Joe from the 90's. You can ask all the questions you want but you're only going to get one of three responses.

[@DrJones20]

Show respect

[@hueyot]

I love the way he said, "I love coffee..."! Totally cracked me up. Lynch rules.

[@seekah1]

What a beautiful soul. Killer note to end on as well. Thanks very muchly for the share.

[@adreena456]

What are his hands doing?! He's brilliant!

[@hueyot]

I don't think anyone can deny that Lynch's mind is wired much differently than most of us. Almost everything he explains is a little difficult for me to follow, I think he has a unique way of understanding concepts and expressing himself. Very unique and weird guy, and absolutely a film GENIUS.

[@OceanSwimmer]

Great interview, thanks Sam. Just finished viewing Twin Peaks Season 2...the guy is amazing. The more I look the more there is to his movies. Awesome.

[@thelatestttplague]

I love this mans voice. I wish he could teach classes or something. I would pay attention the whole entire time.

[@boshno]

His hands are fantastic! OH David, what a beautiful man you are.

[@THESamB]

any interview with lynch is well worth watching!!!!!

[@SejinLifeforce]

Oh, his talking style is so absorving. Having watched this, I will now have to learn more about him. He must be an inspiration for young film makers. I am inspired even though I am neither young nor a film maker.

[@Flea817]

Oh wow. Best interview ever.

[@deathfromabove77]

I've heard him described as "James Stewart...from Mars"....absolutely spot on

[@maharishiayurvedcook]

David is great as ever! He is a true example what Meditation can do for you! The interview is very well done. The journalist (Joe) must be a smart person, unfortunately in Germany we do not have either David Lynch nor such good guys!

[@atree3]

comments on film making are enlightening thanks

[@moviemanwill]

He really loves repeating the fishing metaphor, hahahaha. Love this guy.

[@thesandband]

that's the most precious thing about Lynch, listening to him talking about the process itself of imaging what is going to be a movie.

[@poetry7260]

" Inland Empire" is the one of the greatest!!!!!

[@proudfoot.proudfoot]

What a marvelous interviewee, I would LOVE to speak to him!

[@deebosong]

very insightful. i was actually just listening to it while doing something else, and when i went back to the computer to watch it, i couldn't stop looking at the hand. it's like the eye on sauron. i really appreciate his take on creativity, and being true to an idea. it is also similar to john cassavete's take on censoring oneself. you can read the quote on mark romanek's website.

[@tminustech]

The hand.

[@magnusloven2041]

No one: David Lynch: so I was sitting in Philadelphia Pennsylvania

[@toured87]

"And I thought, Ooh! a painting", as cool as he is, he is weird. But still cool, but weird, but cool but weird ... oh u get it!

[@OurFantasyLife]

Time spent doing something you enjoy is never wasted.

[@SovereignTonic]

I like how, after a little while, the chandeliers behind him seem more and more like a window through to an illuminated city - the metropolis of hanging lights where Mr Lynch plans to go back to, any day now.

[@appman1138]

I think he's pretty articulate of a speaker.. he just uses unusual words and phrases

[@giri.goyo_yt]

His hands are magical. He's one of my bases...

[@poopyman-oo4eh]

Hey theogore, how's your day going

[@Auteckre]

his last words are just so badass

[@bapyou]

I think David's response to the product placement question left Joe (the interviewer) speechless.

[@SJ363]

ahhhh hes doing his fishing sayings again... 'What Was Your Question Again?' haha i love lynch

[@beelzebozos]

great interview

[@Neuroneos]

8:45 " What was your question ? " haha

[@claytonrhuner]

The extended fishing metaphor is a fine lynchian touch. A "beautiful" fish ,apparently, is caught by creating a scene in which actors wear giant bunny heads and mutter sentence fragments complemented by an incongruous laugh track, all of which is set in a converted ampitheatre up in the Hollywood Hills. I'm not being sarcastic, merely pointing out how different his ideas are. He's a genius, and Inland Empire was his best film yet.

[@54spiritedwill54]

i love his hand

[@ShMokou]

DAMN GOOD JOE!

[@WOLFtheDENTIST]

He just got so deep about consciousness, explaining how the artist obtains creativity from the deepest level of the human essence to create a masterpiece.. when he was asked about product placement after that I knew his response was going to be hilarious and sure enough it made me laugh so fucking hard.

[@bjmensz]

watch his hand, it's like he's typing on an invisible typewriter, or maybe he's just trying to hypnotize us.

[@bonskiiTV]

Great man!!!

[@vikingligrveldi]

Interesting and funny! Thanks.

[@magnuscamper]

His finger wiggling is almost hypnotic.

[@KingGlutrok]

he seems to be love fishing too

[@josluis1977]

I agree too

[@boomstickplease]

Interviewers never do Lynch justice. They just ask dumb questions, and don't REACT or discuss. They just fire question after question, and some of the questions are INSULTING. He just freaking explain the idea process and the interviewer goes and asks "well what's your vision for a short film in space?" DUUURRR.

[@orgay3]

He has a natural equalizer cool :) !

[@SamvanStrien]

his right hands out of control!

[@Jammer98825]

That hand...THAT HAND

[@zombieddie73]

@habde It's like he is doing Magic!

[@rojer]

his hand gestures are freakin me out

[@retroalgic5939]

He'd like to do surgeries because he've liked organic phenomenon. That sounds really creepy but I guess he'd be competent with his magical fingers.

[@babajohnsonjohnson9915]

Leaping High fives, Mr. Lynch.

[@habde]

the way he moves his fingers...

[@airrick16]

yeah i agree. that was kind of creepy when he said that. ever seen that movie Dr. Giggles?

[@MyHerpderp]

I got to the hand gesture part, it started to really freak me out, it was cold in my room, the lights were out. I looked behind me and the blind was open, I saw a giant head, it was the head of Lynch, it was like a puppet, there were strings attached to the sky, he was controlling this head, his hand movements from the video provided an unconscious symbioses, its movement, speech, it was saying the same things the video was, manipulated. At that point I realised I was a dog.

[@AskACholaTV]

Actually, Escobari, you just don't get it.

[@Zarme]

I like him. I think I am a lot like him.

[@ZestonN]

I think I'm a member of the "Lynch's Creepy Hands" Club. Now I need to go diving; so I can find my fish, write on it, and shoot it.

[@1sketchyguy]

Spirit Fingers

[@doctorHOUSE]

'beautiful' as he'd say

[@spoken142]

lmao, this guy is completely nuts, someone should put a puppet on that hand

[@cinesimonj]

If you have one specific idea, or affecting experience that motivates an action you've taken, will you stick to discussing that story when asked, which is the truth, or will you make something up, just so you can provide a bit of variety to the audience? To my mind, the later would be a betrayal of Lynch's intellectual honesty.

[@yevocdivad]

David Lynch Premium Espresso

[@poopyman-oo4eh]

Hello.

[@P33N0]

the hand

[@KingGlutrok]

That interviewer is quite witty: the last question was a bait for Lynch to discredit all the talking about transcendental meditation, because that interview was a product (service) placement on Lynch's part.

[@becomepostal]

which phone ? iPhone ? ;-)

[@wynnep]

Man, to be honest I've only heard the product placement part of this interview and that by itself (taken a little out of context) makes him seem strange. After watching the interview though I feel quite a bit different about the guy.

[@drucewayne]

- Transcending will make anger go away. - How do you feel about product placement? - Bullshit. That's how I feel. Total fucking bullshit.

[@islanderboi89]

The ladies must dig his fingers, jus makes em' go crazy!!!! LOL

[@thprmr]

This is the first time I see Lynch talking, I would have thought he had a very deep voice instead of this nasal voice.

[@evanwebb9857]

past united forest crew ought

[@bapyou]

Hey man, that wasn't in the interview. You're bugging up the post, toddrunt.

[@AP-hv9ll]

"Fuck product placement, but buy my coffee!" I say this a bit tongue in cheek because there is nuance, but I still found it funny him shilling product in the same breath of him hating the shilling of product.

[@Rik-B]

He's commented on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqzaWihmd6FgtE&ab_channel=dlftv

[@mpc3po]

zappa interviews RULE, he's God

[@TschkaMoran]

How do you fill about this growing trend? "Totally Ball S@&^#%@$!" AH AH AH! Linch is a genius that havent fall into that...

[@ZoomingRainbowHoover]

+MyHerpderp No one should control your inspiration. Be true to your ideas.

[@Adventurestud]

Well what else should we expect from FartheadOgre. That's a good boy.

[@appman1138]

I have tremendous respect for lynch, but I was under the impression that everybody agrees transcendental meditation sessions are insanely expensive and more of a rip-off than anything else. I liked what David had to say about the process of the meditation, and he seemed to give quite a bit of effort to clear up any disclaimers of it being a cult or religion, but isn't a money scam just as bad?

[@moviemanwill]

That question about space was mad dumb.

[@escobari]

I beg your pardon? :P seems like you're the one who doesn't get IT

[@kosmikmusa]

David Lynch 240p

[@josef2012]

the trippy hand jive is a reflection of his hyperactive, superpowered brain activity.just as mudras represent states of mind and consciousness in vedic philosophy,this jellyfish bodhisattva's staggering mental output is just a couple of levels above and beyond us average bears.for real though.

[@poopyman-oo4eh]

Hi

[@NotfromDateline]

@machiaveliyoohoo Its not surprising he has an IQ or 98

[@glimmerxp]

typo

[@escobari]

beatiful. ideas. fish. Notice how he really doesn't answer the questions, but rambles everytime about fish and such. I think he's becoming senile

[@escobari]

He doesn't answer the questions asked, period.

[@mowgli123456789]

he meditates 40 minutes a day! for 33 years!! a quick calculation on my phone makes that almost a years worth of time wasted! ha ha

[@zombieddie73]

18:38 BULLSHIT! TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT!! LMMFAO!!!

[@Cagliostro85]

fidgety fingers...

[@jazzermonk]

total.fucking.bullshit. classic

[@michaelstevenmartin3478]

I love Lynch, but T.M. is a cult-religion. When someone prefaces with statements like, "It's not a cult or religion," then you can be sure they know they are battling honest, spot-on criticism.

[@greengreen9878]

It's a technique for your mind and can be apart of any religion or belief, like calling working out a cult

[@1qwasz12]

I think the idea of exploring the domain of eternal consciousness as demonic. Who is eternal but God? This is demonic, but why does he make such moral films? May the Lord wake him up; he is very old for playing with such nonsense.

[@Flatliner0452]

I love his movies but every time I hear an interview with him I wonder if it's the same person who makes the movies, I get the feeling he is a very visual person and he'd be happier if people communicated in pictures instead of words. He is just awful at expressing himself with words, he uses way more imagery and metaphor than needed to communicate ideas.
