[grahamlaur]

[adamlinks]

[aboutamillion]

[allstar340]

[lizian111]

great interview ..with one of the most creative people on the planet !! IanT

[seek83]

nicely done. It's fantastic to see Johnston is ok these days.

[bigevilcorporation]

@jemsd That makes absolutely no sense. I don't see how someone could think anyone can make it if Daniel can. And I seriously hope you're not implying that Daniel traded his sanity for success, because that would be ignorant in many, many ways.

[XGRIMYONEX]

@jemsd lol what

[MICHFAN55]

@jemsd

Who cares, you're not a philosopher, watch the video.

[ljp7c4]

I love when he describes how to write a song!

[adampomp]

You could see the horror in her eyes when he said he'd like to HULK Out and destroy houses. Haha.

[poddel]

NIce video, good interview, nice surrounding.

[locodylan1]

the interview is such a babe!

I love his answer to "how to write a song"

[EMinorRant]

His shirt

[Roboytron]

Probably the nicest interviewer to have Daniel Johnston as a guest in my opinion. Thank you for this wonder video

[Roboytron]

@Roboytron wonderful*

[BrandonNorth1120]

@Roboytron I agree. most people are a little too expecting of him when i've seen him interviewed. Brittany, you did a great job of just being nice to him and treating him like a human being and not a freak like most of these people do. Thanks for the interview.

[methogonzo]

how do you manage to score such great interviews? You work for a magazine?

[Tw0Swords]

where can i get the toy figures ?

[billmarlo]

I'm interviewing him via phone in 2 hours. He is my God.

[creepske]

@billmarlo howd u get the chance to chat to him man!!

[billmarlo]

@billmarlo well through my uni paper. I spoke with him on the phone. Then he came to Perth's (i live in Western Australia, and was shocked that Daniel was coming) Laneway festival. I stuck my head under the fence and asked Bill (his brother) if I could talk to Daniel. I spent the next half an hour just sitting with him and chatting, it was the most surreal experience of my life as like you, he is my God.I must upload the interview! but it is more me being an awkward gushing fan. I gave himcomics

[dylanfan1969]

Thier finally making a movie about a true genius.
