DLD 12 interview: Connect with your Fans
Carter and Michelsen are interviewed at DLD 12 about connecting with fans. Michelsen:
I’m known as being Troy’s arms dealer in The Valley. So when we use social media we look at these things as reaching the most amount of people, and the power behind it. If you look at Silicon Valley there are big [technology] weapons. Troy and Lady Gaga are the detonators. They have these platforms and the individuals become the network.
Carter on Gaga’s rise:
Our timing was great. Facebook had just opened up. Twitter was on the rise. MySpace built this platform that was specifically for artists. So we were alternative ways. It just so happened that Gag’s voice is so authentic that she used it as way to say really connected with the fans, she never used it as a place to sell, sell, sell.
The Art of Wrestling interview
Hornswoggle is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss WWE, Twitter haters and not studying older midget wrestling.
I’m ashamed of it. I know nothing about it. I know the names but I don’t really know the history behind it. I watch Youtube videos but that’s about it. Max Mini was the main one (midget wrestler) that I knew of.

George Lucas interview

Everyone, goes how do you come up with the names? I have a little book and I just write names all day long. You just riff on that idea and you end up with a bunch of names. I have hundreds and hundreds, even thousands of names.
DLD dialogues
Carter talks with The Economist’s Bishop at the DLD12 conference (video was not released until May 2012). Carter:
We’re learning that there aren’t any rules. Just when you think you know something a new piece of technology will pop up, or a new company will pop up. And right now with content you just really have to follow the consumer. I recently watched the movie The Artist, which shows the transition of silent films into talking pictures and at that time how disruptive that was, and it just reminds me of exactly what’s happening in the content industry today. We’ve been through several cycles of disruption and this one is nothing new. You just have to follow the consumer…When you have the luxury of having been able to live through cycles you fear them a lot less, and you embrace it,
Limbaugh interviews Walker

We took on our problems head on, we took them on. We thought more about our kids and our grandkids’ future than we did our own political futures. And, in the end, I believe I still have faith in the American voter and the voter in Wisconsin, I believe, if given the truth, the majority of people in our state will say, ‘You know what, we want leaders who do what they say they’re gonna do. We want leaders who think about the future, not just about being worried about what group may run ads against them.’
Elle Magazine interview
Goodman gives an interview to Elle about what it was like living in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen in the 70s.
We had junkies on 52nd and Ninth doing their junkie dance. My bathroom was in the hallway. I’d find needles, cooked bottle caps accouterments in the toilet. My bathtub was in the kitchen. I hand-rigged a shower in it. It wasn’t exactly Hef’s mansion, but if the pressure built up enough, it served.
Gina Carano interview

Pastor Joel Osteen interview

Maxim Interview
McBride talks about filming the second season of the HBO series Eastbound and Down in Mexico:
We wanted to. Honestly, that was the reason we chose Mexico. We were like, It’d be the shit to move down to Cabo and shoot the show! But I guess with some of the cartel violence, HBO’s safety-insurance people weren’t down for us going there, so we shot in Puerto Rico instead.
Elle Magazine interview
Fey gives an interview to Elle about her daily routine on the set of 30 Rock.
I read (pop-culture blog) Dlisted.com every day anyone can say rude things, but I find his writing to actually be very funny. He probably thinks I’m nuts because I say this constantly. He’s probably like, “She’s going to kill me and wear my skin!” But um, what else do I do every day? So much of it is repetitive you sit in the same chair, wear the same makeup, the same clogs.
Jennifer Hudson interview
Seacrest interviews Hudson during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about people’s reaction to her weight loss.
Why does image matter. Why can’t it just be about the talent. Only those who have went through this kind of experience will fully understand how different it is being on both sides of the fence. It is so interesting to see how differently you are treated.

Chris Christie interview
Winfrey interviews Governor Chris Christie in a one on one session detailing his family life, his wife and controlling his weight.

Emmy Rossum interview
