So on Sunday morning, I saw musician/singer/actor/Top-Youtuber Chester See tweet out that he was, for some reason, in my city (Surrey), all the way from LA.
Now, I follow nearly 1000 people, so my timeline moves pretty fast. I would’ve missed this if I had logged in just a minute later. Taking it as some sort of sign to seize an opportunity to get some advice from a YouTube veteran and meet someone we look up to, Mannan/kthx and I headed out with a camera and no plan.
Turned out he was incredibly nice and open to talk, so I decided to go ahead and just interview him for Dunya, too! I’ve met celebrities/people I look up to before, but there was a really real difference with Chester— when he says he enjoys and cares about personal connections with his fans, he really isn’t joking.
And, of course, visit Chester See on YouTube :)
We live in an extremely repressive era, and we fail to realize how repressive it is, because we’re told that all these outlets for rebellion, like listening to rock music, are no longer satanic. Smoking weed—that’s sort of O.K. and acceptable in some circles.” To Parker, the implication is that people in his position have almost an obligation to do what they can with the tools at their disposal—software and the Internet—to free up society through disruptive technology. As he muses, it is clear that he sees entrepreneurship and invention as handmaidens of social transformation.
This great interview with one of, if not absolutely my favourite actor, Adrian Brody, is satisfyingly in-depth and insightful, and inspires me not only in terms of work ethic and dedication, but also to just check out all of his films that I haven’t yet seen.
The interview is from Digg Dialogg, a semi-regular show where digg takes a notable person in a given field, calls for digg users to submit and vote on questions, and then interviews said person using the five questions with the most votes, or diggs. It results in better questions than regular interviews tend to come up with, and, in the case of this interview, fascinating tangents that definitely make it worth checking out.
Enjoy!
