David Lynch on Creativity (Where Great Ideas Come From)

In 2008, The Atlantic sat down with the filmmaker David Lynch as he mused about inspiration and how to capture the flow of creativity. Now, we’ve animated his words of advice. “A lot of artists think that suffering is necessary,” he says. “But in reality, any kind of suffering cramps the flow of creativity.”

He's the best. his words ring so true and inspire many. Lynch is "tapped" as they say

This is such a cool video! And Lynch's commentary is spot on.

thought this was going to be another one of Lynch's advertisements for transcendental meditation, but rather was focussing on the process of ideas themselves. very enlightening and accurate from my perspective :)

That's beautiful, fantastic job.
God bless Mr. Lynch

Everyone says he is such a creepy weirdo, and he is but he also has something beatiful to offer when you look deep enough, but bad and good are put in our minds and david lynch really expresses that.

I wanted to click "like" on your video. But 199 is a lucky number, so I'm leaving a comment, instead.

Approved. I've got diarrhea now. Very hard to art. Very hard to do digital art on the toilet.
