David Lynch: The Idea Dictates Everything (2006)

[@somnambulist83]

It's so great to have an interview at such great length from the Inland Empire period. Thank you for this.

[@Towedwart]

What the hell?! You sat on this for 15 years?! Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview!

[@VolcanoMilk]

I highly recommend Lynch's autobiography ROOM TO DREAM, particularly the audio version read by Lynch.

[@keeganbeegan1616]

Reading right now and I can’t put it down lol

[@billymays1761]

Thank you I just downloaded it 😎

[@tothejazz4828]

this is like the best lynch interview I've ever seen

[@sergeyehrlich5561]

Incredibly cool! It's hard to believe that this is 2006! There are some very important moments in this interview, something exciting.

[@katebloggs8243]

Thank you, Stuart, for the best interview with David I have ever seen. It felt like the interview itself had a life, like the negative space in the room became filled with gentleness, open-ness, fresh curiosity, that drew other things out into life. The past felt alive. Not a seance. Looking for the word. It’s like the Ideas from those past projects came into the room to continue being seen and expanded and appreciated in new ways that weren’t possible before. I don’t know how to say it. Lovely. Thank you.

[@KGSMMediaCache]

Nicest comment ever. It was a special day. Thank you.

[@iamhectorcaballo]

His eyes break space and time, almost like looking into another dimension and, with his hands, tries to illustrate what he’s seeing. For us!

[@seafood_cherry]

Gosh when he says “it hurt it. It hurt it” about Dune … such genuine sadness all these years later

[@guga7]

The hug at the end got me! Thank you 💙

[@carygson]

Fantastic to hear this man talk so much about his work! As the golfer Gary Player said “the more I practice the luckier I get”. Fate plays a part because he earns it.

[@korpienmahtijullit7508]

Thank you for this interview! Will have to say I love the character of David Lynch way more than any of his films. And that right hand of his has a life of its own, lol.

[@themrroxox6021]

I respect your want, in hindsight, to approach Lynch with more inquisitiveness. I must say, though, I loved the rapport between the two of you. Great work.

[@KGSMMediaCache]

Thank you for that comment. And thank you for taking the time to read the intro that most viewers just skip. Cheers.

[@themrroxox6021]

@@KGSMMediaCache cheers my friend! At the risk of ignorance I must say I would LOVE the opportunity to pick your brain. BA English minor in Poli Sci, writer at heart. Obviously you’re under no obligation whatsoever! But if you ever have the time, I’ll make the time!

[@KGSMMediaCache]

Not sure what my brain might have to offer, but you can certainly write me at [e-mail] and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

[@Torrymania]

David is pure art, genius and human being. He and his works has so much impact in my life it's crazy

[@caesarjergens]

I knew Mel Brooks was the producer and I heard that after seeing Eraserhead he said to Lynch `You're a madman, I love it!`. The Elephant man is still one of my favorite Lynch movies. I remember seeing a trailer of some kind on television as a kid and wanting to see that film, thinking it was an old movie. Getting into Lynch movies after seeing a screening of Eraserhead I discovered The Elephant Man and realized it was the same movie I wanted to see as a kid.

[@Civilizashum]

My best friend at conservatory saw Eraserhead back then, '77 or '78 and told me it was a 1920s surrealist thing.

[@ephemeralsolidity1004]

Among the very best interviews I've ever seen with Lynch. Thank you!

[@valleys328]

Thank you for this magnificent interview with Lynch. It was a very nice balance of things, and I know some stories/answers here will really stick with me. Impactful indeed, and with a beautiful ending. I would also give him a big hug if I ever get the chance :) Thank you again!

[@sergeyehrlich5561]

Pure gold!!!

[@rodolfogutierrez2473]

Beautiful interview! Caught myself getting emotional a good amount of times. Thank you for sharing

[@ShumuStudios]

Thank you for this great interview! I could listen to Mr. Lynch talk all day

Thank you greatly for uploading this.

Thanks for the upload.

[@bralph82]

The part about creating reverb through AC ducts is great.

[@arnthorsnaer]

Great atmosphere in that room

[@schm00b0]

Don't worry, David Lynch, we all love you and we know that you could have given us a better version of 'Dune'.

[@UndercoverNoises]

who else watching this on their phone

[@briand.wright4333]

Are you being ironic 😝

[@debrachambers1304]

On their FUCKING telephone.

I'm watching it on my phone in a restaurant where they only serve salad.

Brilliant video. Immense dedication. Thanks for this.

[@PlayNYCe]

Thanks for these Stuart

[@magneto44]

this was so enjoyable, thank you

[@tomg_2]

This was a Hitchcock-ian style interview and vibes.

[@uffeandersen2165]

Thanks for the post.

[@AhmedRezkAhmed]

The way he moves his hands and fingers corresponds to some kind of "intuition" going on in his mind.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

6:06 - I'd love to see this!

[@DiffensiveE]

Go watch it

[@gabrielsanti4520]

Great!

[@alexlight4178]

Wow this reminded me of seeing The Alphabet for the first time. I was powerfully affected. Basically my introduction to lynch

[@joaquinsanchezf4043]

My new trauma will be how would return of the jedi would be if he was in it 😢😢😢😢

[@drawcoder]

The idea that "The Idea Dictates Everything" is a great idea. A better way to put it might be "The Idea Creates Everything" because dictate is a bit pushy.

[@Johnconno]

The Eye Of The Duck.

[@briand.wright4333]

I use to tell people about that for years after I saw that documentary! It was a piece of his surrealist acumen!

[@landofthesilverpath5823]

So Bill Pulman's character in Lost Highway really did kill his wife?!? He just didn't remeber doing it?!

[@bastos283]

His mind at the backsit trying to tell him what he did or what he was going to do. The elements of thought getting lost through a highway once you don't listem to them...

Squirrels? Marvel's Squirrel Girl could be David Lynch's next project. He'd be perfect for adapting that comic book.
