I am off to my class reunion. I may need some _serious_ entertainment when I get home.

So, your task, should you choose to accept it:

Link me to your favorite media interview with a famous person. Doesn't matter if I care about their stuff or have even heard of them. It's the performance of identity I'm interested in at the moment (or, at least, imagine I will be after surviving my 20-year high school reunion).

Merci.

(This message brought to you by: for fuck's sake, once every couple of years you go digging for and almost can't find the same stupid interview. You know what's your friend? Bookmarks and the save button. Oi.)

I am particularly fond of this excerpt where Noel Fielding talks about Salvador Dali on Modern Masters. It's not just what he says about art that's revealing about his own relationship to it, but the physicality of the interview. The camera person sees him as a piece of art, highlighting his clothing and physicality (e.g. that he sits on the desk rather than the chair, pans down to his gold boots) speaks volumes in a visual way about the interviewee, in a show about the power of visual art.
