Such a great interview with two great artists of our time. Actor Daniel-Day Lewis (doesn't do a lot of interviews) and writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson with Charlie Rose (what a legendary interviewer.)
It was right around the time they were shooting, "There Will Be Blood," a filmed adaptation of Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel "Oil!"
Favorite parts of the interview:

5:30 "No No No" - Paul Thomas Anderson

9:39 " Drawing out...oil" - Paul Thomas Anderson
Marfa, Tx
11:25 "Not a two crew town" - Paul Thomas Anderson

Separation from humanity
23:05 "Last spark of his own soul..." - Daniel-Day Lewis
