I’m asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn’t say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don’t know myself at all yet.
I’m not saying Michael Moore’s smarter than Sean Hannity, but Michael Moore is better at running interviews than Hannity, even though Hannity’s running the interview!
I will be doing a lot of human interest interviews. It involves empathising and listening. Which is a lot of what my day job is about. And, frankly, the priesthood isn’t without its element of showbusiness.
I probably shouldn’t treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don’t keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I’m at and letting it all out.
I’ve changed my mind about the interview. I shall never give interviews.
I won’t do any print interviews anymore. No matter what I say, it gets distorted.
That’s why I don’t want to know the questions before, when I give interviews whether TV or print. I don’t want to prepare myself for what I will answer.
To me, it seems like both ‘Brief Interviews’ and ‘The Office’ deal with characters that see themselves differently than the world sees them.
Any actor who says that they don’t want the attention, and that they’re tired of all the interviews and photoshoots, are just pretending.
I think people forget that to be on the A list you first had to go through the original graded Parliamentary Selection Board. I did that and then like everyone else had the further interviews to get onto the A list.
I was frightened. I hadn’t really had any experience, and then all of a sudden I was thrown straight into doing interviews. Most people have build-up. I had none.
My mother kept the house clean and we ate good. I didn’t know we were poor until I started giving interviews.
‘Cuckoo’s Nest’ was my first film, and I had wanted to do film for some time, but somehow I had not clicked. I would go in for interviews or readings, and I never had the sense that I was anywhere near what they were looking for.
People, who accused me of practising a monopoly were wrong. The media fuelled rumours about my ‘monopoly.’ The first question I was always asked during interviews was about my supposed monopoly.
My life has improved so much since I stopped doing interviews.
I’ve had people ask me in interviews what it’s like to have money, but that’s not how it is. I have a middle-class life. I have a room in London but not a house, nor a BMW.
My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.
My father, for his part, was not a man to begrudge anyone a divergent opinion; he’d have been fine if I had written some articles disagreeing with his policies, or even given interviews, as long as I was respectful and civil.
I don’t think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.
It’s funny, because I did all of these interviews as soon as I had the baby, and they were asking questions, and I really didn’t have an idea of anything, because I was so blurry.
I treat the photograph as a work of great complexity in which you can find drama. Add to that a careful composition of landscapes, live photography, the right music and interviews with people, and it becomes a style.
Ralph Reed is deeply ambitious and always was so. There was a time when he… in one of my interviews, he said he pondered running the Ross Perot campaign, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to do the Christian Right thing; he was worried that it boxed him into a corner.
I don’t mind doing interviews. I don’t mind answering thoughtful questions. But I’m not thrilled about answering questions like, ‘If you were being mugged, and you had a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?’
I feel like what I say on Twitter has actually a lower rate of misinterpretation than what I say on interviews because I’m just kind of rambling on interviews, and I’m just talking, talking and talking.
We all put on faces, as Walter White does. We put on faces when we meet our friends, when we meet new people, when we present ourselves in interviews. We try to be who the people we meet want us to be, or who we want to truly be.
The others don’t like my interviews. And frankly, I don’t care much for theirs.
Every time I do interviews, they ask me about the same things – poverty, war, and the power of the church.
I will continue to be open in my music and in interviews and keep those conversations going about the issues we face as an LGBT+ community until those conversations no longer need to be had.
I remember our first interviews at the Capitol tower. These magazine people were asking us things like ‘What’s your favorite color?’ and ‘What do you like to do on a date?’ I’d ask, ‘Where are you from?’ and they’d say, ‘Fave’ or ‘Rave’ or whatever. We wondered, ‘When do the real writers get here?’
When I go to the interviews and sit before a prospective employer, I’m going to try and look as employable as I can.
I’ve had two instances when I’ve met journalists face to face and we’ve had good interviews and I’ve said, ‘We don’t have children, by the way,’ and then they’ve written it. I’m not sure what that’s about. As misleading facts go, it’s not a terrible one but it isn’t true – we don’t have kids.
I don’t like getting myself in hot water. But suddenly I find that every minute I have to stop and think about what I’m saying. I can see what’s going to happen. I’m going to have to stop giving interviews because I’m always saying the wrong thing. I don’t want that to happen.
I like to just be humble. The more interviews, the more embarrassed I kind of get.
I don’t do interviews.
Our partnership with Disney included a two-hour Cinderella list takeover that features supermodel Coco Rocha’s first-ever fashion collection, which incorporated behind-the-scenes footage and interviews to support her HSN debut.
I would watch a lot of old tapes of David Letterman doing his talk show and a lot of interviews. I never had a mentor in my career because my approach has always been so different. Letterman stayed true to who he was, and his staff was always fantastic, so for me, that was always important.
I think people are used to seeing actors be wide open and desperately giving of themselves, and while I do that on a movie set as much as I can, it’s so unnatural for me to do it on television, in interviews, in anything like that. I also don’t find that my process as an actor is really anyone else’s business.
I’ve done so many interviews that I’ve gotten past the ego and the personality.
Back in the day we didn’t really have time to be a live act because we were always on TV or doing live interviews. We were being flown all over the world.
Live interviews are more difficult to distort.
Ozzy Osbourne is one of my favorite interviews, he’s so good.
I would love to get Chief Justice John Roberts for an interview. I think that would be fascinating, I think that Supreme Court nominees should do more interviews.
I am still shy when I go to interviews.
When you start giving interviews like the CEO of an established company, it’s just wrong.
I worked as bricklayer, operating forklifts, building scenes for TV shows. I did everything. When I worked at the TV, I told them I would come back one day to give interviews, and they laughed at me.
I don’t do many interviews.
My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.
Every time I give a straight answer and read it in a magazine, I say, ‘Ouch.’ One day I’d like to talk to a psychoanalyst about why celebrities reveal so much of themselves in interviews.
Sometimes if I do radio interviews or certain kinds of interviews or things that would require me to travel, then I’ll get a nice car ride. Someone will take me, drive me to that place, and I’ll actually get to see around.
In terms of, like, interviews, I used to struggle a lot with interviews; I never knew what to say.
That’s the thing about interviews, at some point you’re going to change your mind. But it’s there forever and you can’t escape it.
I can be the same Kiana that I am at home, on set, in interviews, everywhere that I go. And I think that it’s such a relief when you accept that and acknowledge that about yourself.
Interviewers actively fool themselves, finding ways to learn from interviews even if there’s actually nothing there to learn from.
You should never rely on interviews with musicians as being factual. Most of them are mangled and even have made up stuff in them, that is to say, made up stuff by the writer or editor.
But for every hour and a half on stage, you have a five hour long bus ride, waiting for five hours at the airport, five hours of interviews… I know, it’s part of the job, but that doesn’t imply I have to like it.
People always think I hate doing interviews. I don’t. I wouldn’t do them if I didn’t like them.
I’ve been drawing authors and politicians for newspapers for many years. I try to read up on the person; in the case of authors, read one of their books. I watch interviews via YouTube and collect pictures via the Internet.
Actors should never give interviews.
I remember sitting one time doing 100 interviews in a day, and they’re all television interviews and they’re kind of – and you just sit there and they bring these people in and out, and in out.
