Thanks for posting this interview on youtube.
It was a very enjoyable interview to watch and Michael seemed very personable and relaxed with the vixens of the View.
On a superficial note, Michael did seem to look fitter and leaner than previously. He looked very hot in a classy sort of a way and well, those pants fit him very nicely if you know what I mean.

It just occurred to me when they're asking what's in store, Michael was all, oh, just more beatings and bloodshed, wars, etc. He had to be feeling pretty snarky-smug sitting there silently knowing what he knew and what the viewers didn't. Ha! That's the spirit! I love that kind of gamesmanship. In many of Michael's interviews, he said that there would be some surprising alliances. He got us there. Also, for those who have trouble with Youtube, the video on Dark UFO of the interview still works, at spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/02/michael-emerson-on-view.html

I'm self conscious when cars pass by or neighbors are nearby when I'm trying to film myself outside; A voice inside my head is saying that they're thinking, "What is she doing?" and I try to tell myself that I'm playing around, shooting a movie and there's nothing strange about that, that people in the entertainment business do that all the time. I have the same problem, heh.

… I saw a guy, a few yards away, across the sreet, staring in my direction from his driveway! Sometimes I think I'm lousy, that I don't know what I'm doing and can't act at all, but I feel more hopeful and excited when I improve. It's scary, yet also the best feeling to face my fear; I have to remember to tell the negative, worrying voice inside my head to shut up. When people are staring at you (or you think they are) you must realize that is THEY who should be self-conscious about watching an artist in performance without paying the price of admission. Should you need to remind them, simply say that today you are feeling generous and you will allow them to watch for free.

Anything creative feels personal and private because it is. But if you're creating for it to be seen by others, there is that last scary step everyone takes, even if they write or draw, of sharing it with the public, because you are exposing yourself to public review. the good news is that 90 percent of the people who are watching you understand what you are going through and or appreciate it. Your critics are always your best gut-check though, and unless you could bolster yourself to take their responses, you could never grow or become strong. The rest aren't worth your time or worry. That was one of the most brilliant lessons my art professor taught me in college

You're too generous. My teammate in my art history class and I decided to turn our study report into a slide show presentation, we sold tickets and wouldn't allow anyone in the classroom until students paid up. Of course, our art professor (same guy) put an end to the transaction of money, but he thought the ticket idea was hysterical.

That's really clever! I'll have to remember that one.

I would've been extremely pissed off if I were a student in that class. It was a very select group of students. We were all best friends and played along with whoever was gaming the class or other students. I might add that almost everyone pulled a A in that class. I was among a lot of smart folks and felt privileged to be a part.
