The ‘Energy’ of Interviews: Marc Pachter
I really enjoyed this lecture from Marc Pachter, former director of the National Museum of American History and the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. His “Living Self-Portraits” project is especially inspiring. Key quote from the presentation:
“It’s energy that creates extraordinary interviews and extraordinary lives — I’m convinced of it. And it has nothing to do with the energy of being young.”
For another take on Pachter’s work, check out this tongue-n-cheek phone call on the Colbert Report (scroll through to about 2:30 for the Pachter scene):
