I recommend this video to you: Oral History of Donald Knuth Part 1 and 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp7GAKLSGnI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp7GAKLSGnI on The Computer History Museum Youtube channel.
It's a _really_ long interview, +7 hours. But it's also superb. He is interviewed by his friend and colleague Edward Feigenbaum who does a stellar job. He brings out the human Donald Knuth in a remarkable way.
It gave me great respect and admiration for Donald Knuth life and achievements. For me I dare to say it was transformative in regards to human pursuit of knowledge, passion and what it means to be a intellectual human being.
