A nice, wide-ranging interview with psychologist Paul Ekman, who's done ground breaking research on facial expressions and emotions. The interview was conducted on camera and you can watch it from the website (~1 hour), or you can read it from the interview transcript. There's a lot of interesting tidbits interspersed in there that one normally wouldn't find in a summary of Ekman's work.
