"It's part of the fun of it to work with strong personalities"
About this Quote
The key word is “fun,” which does a lot of diplomatic work. In entertainment, “strong personality” is code that can mean charismatic, demanding, volatile, or simply powerful enough to bend a room. By calling it fun, Lynch signals competence: she’s not intimidated, not scandalized, not caught in the gossip economy that loves pitting “difficult” people against “easy” ones. She’s also subtly asserting her own strength. You don’t enjoy strong personalities unless you have a personality sturdy enough to hold its shape.
This lands in a cultural moment where we constantly renegotiate the line between “difficult” and “driven.” Film and TV crews have always absorbed the myth that great work requires big egos; the industry is now more skeptical, more attentive to harm, more allergic to romanticizing bad behavior. Lynch’s phrasing threads that needle. She keeps the romance of creative collision - the electricity of opposing sensibilities - while sidestepping any endorsement of outright toxicity. It’s an insider’s wink: yes, it gets messy; yes, that’s often where the good stuff is.
