"When you're inside of it, you can't see it" is such a perfect answer for that first question

It's interesting seeing them talk about the critical panning of Fire Walk With Me, with Lynch saying "I'm hoping that some day people will take another look at that film." (1:55) I think in many ways that film has finally been reappraised in the public eye.

I can't believe it. I actually met David Lynch on the street in Burbank back in 2005. I just said I loved Elephant Man. And he was very cool and just said thanks.

I love listening to David Lynch speak. On the surface he might seem vague and abstract; he is actually speaking profound truths in a very articulate and honest way. There is a wide gap between someone like him and the artistic “type” who tries to be profound and edgy.

The best David Lynch interviews are those in which he gets to smoke... lol

David was 50 year old here in 1997, it's 2025 now... David Lynch no longer with us but truly he is immortal.

The last time I was this sad about someone I never met dying was Norm Macdonald

Rest in peace David ❤️

RIP David Lynch. There will never be another

Charlie: "So how do you do the thing?"
David "Well you just do the thing"

His unintended (?) definition of Lynchian is perfect: "when you're inside of it, you can't see it"
Just like a dream.
Every time I see a Lynch movie, it's not until the next day that I'm aware enough of how immersed I was in the film and I can think about it.
Truly like a dream, surreal.

Rest in Wonder, dear brilliant soul - with deep love and profound gratitude oxo always and forever 💗🖤💗

2:02 it’s cool that that’s actually started happening now, I personally love fire walk with me, and I think a big reason is because it just wasn’t the right time for the audience, it was made right decades ago but I think it speaks to us a lot more now, at least in my experience, I wasn’t born for another decade after it was released. And I think the missing pieces being released has really helped boost it all, I recently saw it for the first time and it makes it much better than my bias believed it to be already lol.

crazy hearing Lynch talk about how critics poorly received Fire Walk With Me, now it’s highly considered one of his greatest works

RIP David.  Thank you for going against the grain and being your total authentic self.

I really appreciate David's respect for the indescribable and mysterious.

JEEZ, we need serious, unhurried, long-form interviews like this more than ever 😭 There's room for people to think, breathe, reflect. It's honestly so relaxing to listen to compared to todays fast-paced, marketing-driven interviews, or even the super-short "take" type interviews.

I dont often idolize anyone let alone a famous person but his work has no match. Even when it's odd or even 'bad' it all makes you think and it always makes you feel like you're in some strange dream.

His hairstyle has aged amazingly well. Which isn't something you can say about a lot of people from 1997.

The fact that Karl Pilkington's favorite movie was directed by this man "is a bit weird innit"
