Alan Moore interviews

For a man described in many articles about him as a recluse, Uncle Alan sure granted lots of interviews, mainly in reaction to the V for Vendetta movie (which I enjoyed). Here are some links to interviews I collected. Keep in mind, when you read, that Vendetta artist David Loyd supported the film and was a co-creator of the comics series.

I love how the interview really takes the Devil's Advocate approach: why aren't you thrilled and impressed that your story is now a great big Hollywood movie?

A very decent compendium of interviews from the early 90s onward

Cinescape interview - 'Lost Girls' - Part 1, Part 2
Good longish interview (esp. the second part) on art, pornography, and breakfast cereal. One of the better of the latest round of interviews with AM, as it gets more into philosophy, and less on his gripes with the industry. One of the fanboy comments from the first interview bears repeating here:
Holy crap, you got to interview Alan Moore? And you didn't just spend the whole time peeing your pants and screaming "ALAN MOORE! ALAN MOORE!"? That's what I would've done.
