Available by both transcript and podcast, Linus Torvalds, creator of the GNU/Linux OS kernel, does a lot of interviews, but this one is exceptional because it reveals his humility, frustrations with corporations and patent trolls, why you don't need to code perfectly, but you'd better be ready to improve it as soon as you've written it, and examples of how when companies get too big, they can't code anymore because no one knows what the other is doing (Sun Micro became a victim of this). He freely gives interviews (it seems), but if you're not familiar with him, this is the interview to read.
