Never Compromise Your Creativity with David Lynch | Russell Brand

[@TheIncognitusMe]

David Lynch is one of the coolest people to ever live.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

David Lynch is one of the last, true artistic geniuses we have left. A brilliant, truly unique, truly surreal, truly profound, pure artist. They’re a dying breed. David Lynch must be protected at all costs.

[@jmm2897]

How blessed you are to sit there and talk to David Lynch. Such a unique human being. His work and view of things truly had a huge impact on my life. I always felt bad because I absolutely hate compromise (with democracy not being possible without it and all..), and what he said there made me feel better :) And I'm gonna print that doughnut saying on a t-shirt. Keep up the great work, Russell

[@osse1n]

The only way to really zone out into your craft, letting creativity take over and forgetting the concept of time. Being fully present.

Sooo true 🏳️‍🌈

[@jeffpape6519]

So true!

[@MrMadalien]

This will happen naturally when the craft that you're engaged in is ever so slightly too difficult, but driven by a vision (the idea of a potential future). When you are completely focused on transforming matter in to something that you envision, time doesn't even factor in (it only factors in the sense that you'll probably need to stop in 2 hours to walk your dog or something like that).

[@paddabaddabing4684]

Don’t worry Russell, I will never compromise my creativity with David Lynch

[@oanaalexia]

LOL, so obviously funny...thanks.

[@oanaalexia]

But think about it, David Lynch will 100% compromise your creativity in a nightmarish way.

[@corbinmiles5677]

I compromised my creativity with David in 2008 and still regret it to this day 😢

[@minimanart]

David is such an important artist and inspiration for me as an artist. Without him I would have not allowed my self to be far outside of conventional art. Invaluable. I don’t know how to thank you enough since over 20 years wanting to say this to you! Thank you

Dude did Russel crack the code on how to get Lynch to give good answers?! I can’t wait until Saturday I feel like this could be one of the best conversations ever.

[@jonathanwingmusic]

I feel like a lot of interviewers are disingenuous and focused too much on getting great soundbites that they forget to just have a real conversation. Russell is just genuine and in turn, David is genuine and open right back.

[@germanicelt]

Was it?

[@LookDeeper]

‘Realise the ideas you fall in love with’ I like that On mindfulness. Have you ever noticed how you perform better at a task when you’re not thinking about it? Reflexes are automatic, in tune. That place they call the zone.

[@mikeexits]

That's because your attention isn't split. When you're thinking, feeling something unrelated, or focused on anything other than the work/task you're doing, it splits your focus and you can't invest yourself fully. But the flow state becomes natural when your attention is wholly and completely on what you are doing. This is how I get my best work, and it's how I enjoy work.

[@RussellBrand]

Come and see me and David Lynch in conversation in LA on 9th June! All proceeds go to the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House - a centre for women in recovery. It would be great to see you there! Please spread the word: www.fondatheatre.com/events/detail/374847

[@BenTaylorPostProduction]

In the middle of the most horrible psychosis that I have ever experienced. I watched David Lynch's meditation video and focused on my breathing. I would not have lived through that excruciating horrific experience without it. I just wanted to die. I have been a meditater now for years and have turned my life around 100%. Having been stricken with a severe form of bipolar I can tell right now you are reading a ghosts post. I should not be here right now. Not only am I here, but I am loving life more than I ever knew was possible. Expanding my consciousness every day. More, importantly I got my creative energies flowing in the right direction.

[@JupGem]

Once Again... Two brilliant minds at Meet! Long time follower of each ....Lynch came first of course. Thank you for brightening UP, Brand! A decade ago, I imagine interviewing the interesting people that you are now, was simply not possible then. Now it IS. Lucky knowing is, for all of us.

[@kewlbeone5949]

Brand has become my new fav. Sat next to Lynch on a plane - very nice man - very normal. Also very underrated!

[@TheHulksMistress]

Wow, what an amazing guy. I always pictured him as a kinda Salvador Dali-esque oddball. But he seems to be one of the warmest and most down to earth people ever. And that’s a brilliant metaphor for the creative process, recreating what’s on your mental Tv screen. I definitely know the feeling when what you’re creating doesn’t match up with what’s in your head, it’s like staring at an imposter

[@claremurphy777]

Listened to the ful podcast. Fascinated and completely compelling. Youur friendship is fantastic and what can I say... David Lynch.. the genius 46 years meditator is one of us!❤️wonderful and ordinary!

Stephanie Anne here in a meditational groggyness as AM I listening to the two of you talking about Meditation & Creativity! I AM loving the mediation talk, and YES, I AM in more peace, r Calmer, less Stressed + much more! I was at your show in Hollywood, CA and I AM the Woman who asked a question of Russell first, David Lynch second and Bobby Roth (leading the question) and a great introduction by the Hilarious Jane Lynch! My question was and still is, "Do you believe that LOVE can SAVE the WORLD?" This question appeared to set the tone for the whole show! I AM still THRILLED about this fact! My question comes up at approximately 22.43 in the times ng of the video. I AM full of Humility. and GRATITUDE! I gave Russell a necklace bobble of the World with a sparkling diamond that says LOVE! NOTE: The capital letters used are for emphasis, rather than YELLING!!!!! My Vision is to get a Podcast going on but first go on Russell Brands show Several of my comments have been pinned by Russell himself! Its quite the BLESSING I have been holding this vision as a Sacred one created back in 2006. only 22 years! I have no patients do I? My website is on FB not the META and I would be honored & humbled once again if you guys could go to my page? The FB name is Stephanie Anne Main go to E.C.H.O.

Wow even David Lynch is down to earth next to Russell Brand

[@TrashBabe0705]

But David Lynch is always down to earth, that's why every single actress actor who works with him talks about him as if he is their father or grandma. He always seems to be down to earth, modest and actually a really really nice human being. His mind may be a vast space of WOWNESS but he himself looks homey, relaxed and down to earth :)

[@capitalg88]

I always thought I was too young to get David Lynch movies, now in my forties I've come to realise I'm not smart enough. But I do enjoy watching them. They need multiple viewings.

[@biocykle]

That may depend on what qualifies as "getting" them. I'd say enjoying watching them is quite enough.

[@JamesOGant]

He’s right about compromise on a political level as well. The argument to moderation fallacy suggests that contrary to what some people believe there is no compromise between a right and left if they are extreme - there is no compromise between slavery and the outlawing of slavery, or corporate fascism and social democracy. The compromise between two opposed positions tends to favor the most extreme or violent group. But the silver lining or whatever is that the majority consensus does not favor slavery, most people do not favor corporate fascism either. I think he’s right - in a time of peace or democracy we would know the way to go - it would be clear. It is clear. Even in America where everybody has become so propagandized the majority polls in favor of what works in healthcare and economics in favor of social and economic justice and in favor of compassion etc. And I also think that art can save the world as they say... I think that that is entirely possible. An album or a game or an amazing novel can save lives and give people the meaning that drudgery labor cannot...

[@nashbridges5043]

Thanks for this, I’m honestly sick of David Lynch walking into my room when I’m writing and saying “oh, yeah, I don’t think you’ve got the right POV character in this scene” or “this story needs a love subplot, get to it.”

In relation to what they were saying about not judging actions morally, or judging them at all, two segments of scripture pop into focus which -- I believe, at least -- offer significant insight into valuable wiadom: "A good tree can not bear bad fruit." Think of a person with a healthy moral compass. They themselves would never willingly compromise their values no matter what they did. To the point that they wouldn't even seriously consider taking any action that deviates from their value system. And values can and do change. Therefore a person is never able to willingly act against their own nature. Secondly, the tree of knowledge of good and evil vs the tree of eternal life. The metaphor is presented in such a way that explains the rules: it's impossible to eat from both trees simultaneously. Eating from the tree of eternal life means NOT eating from knowledge of good and evil, and vice versa. Now consider this: the knowledge of good and evil creates judgement. In order for something to be good or evil, something must be inherently right or wrong. In order for something to be "right", you're inherently comparing against a "wrong". True self acceptance, true acceptance of others, true lov.e is without condition. It just exists as a constant. It's given freely. Therefor it's only possible to truly accept oneself (or others) once we separate ourselves from some idea of "right". Ultimately this means we've stopped eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And thus all fruit that remains is fruit of eternal life -- love -- God. I'm certain I could have worded this better but I'm rushing it out.

[@NormBa]

In The Satanic Verses, Rushdie fell in love with the idea of creatively ransacking Islam. In 'saying goodbye' to creative inhibitions he said hello to a backlash from unyielding believers who took offense at their sacred content being parodied and satirized. The Great Liberal Blindspot (often called the Liberal Paradox), in the context here of art, is that all parties MUST share this fundamental(ist) belief in the primacy of the imagination i.e. 'I DEMAND that you be as tolerant as me'. Those self-permissioning artists who metaphorically and figuratively stalk others (because True Believers do not differentiate between themselves and their beliefs) should be accepting of the bounty placed on their heads. Indeed they should wear it like a Crown of Secular Thorns. Anything less introduces asymetric totalitarianism. It's not a catastrophe that artists should risk death for their art. In fact it's rather romantic and would probably weed out a lot of punters.

[@Johny40Se7en]

This is an awesome chat and I love what he says about never having control of how something fruits. It's kind of like all experiences in the weird and wonderful journey of life really, suck it and see =P Proper agree with the no compromising too, people do that in relationships instead of just having an understanding and it never lasts. One of the reasons why most people that get married get divorced these days, sad.
