The more in tune and in alignment you are with your inner being, the more the universe (and the film enviroment) works in your favor. …
thats what he is getting at. He isnt changing the subject but instead saying that your attitude about your desires effects the immediate enviroment you come in contact with.
Don’t listen to my answer, just watch the fingers. Magic fingers.
its a constructive thing for artists to get critic, its why they learn from masters, its why they hang out with each other – or choose not to do so. what seperates the real work from rubbish is when the creative vibe is not stopped.
there is also positive pressure like “have you maybe disregarded traditional drawing to improve your digital art ?” . such a simple question is pressure at some point and can trigger so much good. its like stress is. sometimes it can make you wake up..
Everyday’s like a Saturday morning.
Hahaha. David Lynch doesnt answer questions – he tells stories with his hands and you forget what you came for.
The budget, eh? Have I told you about the puppies…?
“Puppy dogs with tails wagging” He nailed it.
I wish my tail was waging
My respect for Lynch is now on a very VERY high level.
Yea… simply said: “It’s not what happens to us – it’s how we see it.”
and it is exactly that perspective and way of thinking that will keep *your* reality that way….that is the beauty of it…the gift of life, you actually get to choose how you think, and in *that* is the power of life.
The beauty of your life is a matter of (personal)perception. With that being said, every day CAN be a “saturday morning”.
Your opinion and attitude will control your reality (which isn’t absolute)
Good for him and his positive attitude.
well that video was pretty much a bunch of crap
he’s inspiring
but he needs a reality check
what he talks about doesn’t happen these days
not everyone gets along
we’re not puppy dogs with our tails wagging
the world is not “fantastic”
people need to make a living
family>filmaking
A wise, funny, and beautiful man
It’s funny that a lot of people compare my videos to a mixture of Lynch and Fincher. I don’t really think they resemble them that much at all.
hope I will work on his next film
He is GREAT! what a genius and beautiful being! a TRUE artist & a true BEING
A great man!
It’s Miles Davis in his head, and Ornette Coleman in his movies and hands.
oh this made me laugh out loud. he is so wonderful
Everyday is like a Saturday morning. You’ve got a great feeling and it grows and grows and grows.
(…)
We’re supposed to all get along and we’re supposed to all have so much fun
like puppy dogs, just happy, our tails just wagging like this.
And it’s supposed to be great living, it’s supposed to be fantastic.
I love the fingers thing. I think he’s practising sorcery when he speaks to us!
His hand..twiddling fingers. The guy plays jazz when he thinks….
Interesting.
I love how he talks with his hands.
