Another interview!

I might be spamming today, but this is just too good not to post - MisterParkour guys located another recent interview with David, thoughtfully provided with English subtitles:






Hee! Oh David, you perfect lunatic, I could listen to you ramble all day! :-) The bit that absolutely slayed me was: "Except when they (the animals) fall it's not concrete." So perfectly true. So completely unrelated to any point he was trying to make ;-)

well, the embed is broken, but I just had to watch this. perfect ending to this day, listening to David rambling. It reminded me of my mother a little, how she uses to say that there's no point in being overly cautious because our life is in mortal danger, every day. and it's not like we'll live forever if we don't take risks.

So completely unrelated to any point he was trying to make ;-)
I laughed so hard when I got to that because you're so right. He's talking about how moving and falling are natural parts of life, and then the concrete bit... not quite so natural, that.

It is? Grr, I hate LJ's embedding issues. Hopefully it'll work now.

Heh, another bit that make me snicker in the interview was the story about how he helped some guy who forgot his keys. I do hope David checked that it was indeed that guy's apartment, otherwise he has no leg to stand on when he's complaining how the French police is out to get him ;-)

I do adore his incredible imagination, though. In his book he says that when he first started training he imagined his father as his invisible training partner showing him the moves. Awesome. It's like the only thing that can run faster than he does is his mind.
