I am trying as hard as i can to not comment on his...interesting hair cut.

[ytliewsc]

eye contact? he is doing that with the interviewer.... not us :)

Just like in a movie, you don't have the actor maintain eye contact with us the audience.

Sellars has brilliant ideas but for Christ's sake, someone give him a comb.

Thank you for uploading this, absolutely fascinating insight.

But I have to say, he looks as if he's been in a nasty car accident!!!
