I haven’t been drinking for years now. Something’s got to give. I don’t mind that I’m a guy that’s stopped drinking, though this interview is making me mighty thirsty.
I did an interview once where I was asked who I found attractive and I went on about cartoons and Nala from ‘The Lion King’ – and it’s a bit weird but various of my ex-girlfriends actually did look like Nala.
I would try to promote something that I loved, and the entire interview would be about my personal life. I would leave a room feeling defeated, feeling embarrassed, but I would always make sure to put that smile on my face because I wasn’t going to let them get to me.
Nobody at the FA has ever explained why I was overlooked and not even asked for an interview.
I first met Michael in the early days of the Jackson 5 at the family home in Los Angeles, and the memory that stands out is that Michael, as cute and wide-eyed as an 11-year-old could be, was eager to get through the interview so he could watch cartoons before having to go to bed.
I don’t like Heather Graham. She did an interview and said, ‘I didn’t want to kiss Corey; I didn’t want to catch his mononucleosis. He had a kissing disease.’
Before social media, if I, as an individual wanted to publish something to the world, unless I could get some local TV crew to interview me, or I wrote an op-ed or took out an ad, I had no voice.
As a documentary filmmaker, I’m very respectful, and my interview style is not intrusive. I don’t really have an agenda. I just go in there, I mumble something or other, I wait for them to speak, and I wait for them to stop.
Once, in an interview with ‘V’ magazine, I said that I preferred Fitzgerald to Hemingway. I think that Hemingway is an amazing writer, but by being related to him, I had it in my head that I had to like him.
I interview about three thousand models yearly, and I must see almost 20 tons of excess avoirdupois annually.
I am always fully in tune with the interviewer, who is usually trying to make me look silly. My objective is quite the opposite during an interview: I never use my wit or my intellect to make the interviewer look silly.
I’ve been abroad, I’ve been at home. I’ve even flown 10 hours away for an interview, so I’ve done a lot of miles. I should probably be an ambassador for British Airways.
I like getting to the meat of things. You can’t get it in a five-minute interview. I like to hone a person. I like to make eye contact.
If I got my hands on the Mueller report, the thing I’d want to see is what are the reasons why Barr made the conclusion about obstruction of justice that he did? Was it because of the facts? If so, why didn’t he try and interview Trump to learn all the facts?
What women represent to the male is, historically, a big burden. It’s a lovely dream, but it’s the stuff of literature, art, and everything. Living up to what the male psyche projects onto the female is the stuff of books. You’d need a lot more than an interview to go into it!
If I call you playing my music, you’ll be like, ‘Oh, that’s Gunna.’ Even on a song you ain’t heard, you’re gonna know my voice for singing. But if I call you on the phone – ‘What’s up? Are we still doing the interview today?’ – you’re not gonna know who this is.
In Australia, a deaf person attending an interview must take their own interpreter at their own expense, or ask the employer to provide one. Believe me, nothing says ‘I’m the best person for this job’ quite like asking an employer to pay to interview you.
I walk on a stage, and I know if it’s been a good show or not. You know when it’s been a good interview. No one has to tell you. You know it. You feel it. You can feel the air. You can feel everything about it when it’s a good show. And you know when you’ve messed up.
Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
I never let my gender define me but in my whole driving career I only ever did one interview not being asked about being a female.
Every week’s a job interview for us as players.
From journalism I learned to write under pressure, to work with deadlines, to have limited space and time, to conduct and interview, to find information, to research, and above all, to use language as efficiently as possible and to remember always that there is a reader out there.
Tell your mother that any clothes she wants to purchase you as a gift has to be suitable for a job interview.
I don’t have anything personal against Valentina, but I think she changed a lot, her personality. In one interview, she says something and the other one she goes completely the other way.
My first-ever radio interview was with Annie Mac on Radio 1!
I guess the best advice I ever got or anyone could get for doing a talk show, though it has not been easy very often, was from Jack Paar, who said, ‘Kid, don’t make it an interview. Interviews have clipboards, and you’re like David Frost. Make it a conversation.’
When I left the club, I said in an interview that my chapter with Borussia Dortmund was not over. I just wanted to realize my dream of playing in the Premier League.
Job applications are an aesthetic event. They are performance art. They are not about proving you are smart – well, maybe your writing sample does that, but even then, the main point is to get an interview.
Eddie Murphy said once in an interview that nothing is offensive if it’s funny. I sort of agree with that, but if something’s funny and you’re the subject of it, sometimes it’s more offensive. If someone’s insulting you, you want them to sound like an idiot.
We now have the right to have immediate, unfettered access to any site in Iraq and we have the right to interview people, both inside and outside Iraq.
Since graduation, I have measured time in 4-by-5-inch pieces of paper, four days on the left and three on the right. Every social engagement, interview, reading, flight, doctor’s appointment, birthday and dry-cleaning reminder has been handwritten between metal loops.
Writers have told me more than once that I’m a better interview in defeat than in victory, which is a compliment I am extremely proud of.
With ‘2 Dope Queens,’ with stand-up, and also with ‘Sooo Many White Guys,’ the interview stuff that I do, I really am a fan first.
As a member of the often maligned fourth estate, it is so refreshing to have a conversation instead of a buttoned up interview in a stifling studio.
I’m not used to interviews. People don’t generally interview waitresses.
General McChrystal had to go. Whatever his virtues as a strategist and commander, the ‘Rolling Stone’ interview fatally compromised his ability to represent the United States in dealing with allies and to act within the circle of people who must make decisions in Afghanistan.
With the long-format interview, I can get into really interesting conversations with my guests. You know what it’s like to get the opportunity to speak to really interesting people and pick their brain about things. To have time to let a guest actually speak and tell a story and get into detail is really exciting.
At least for me personally, I’ve always tried to do a really good job every day, with each interview, and treat each interview seriously, and make the person I’m speaking with feel comfortable, hopefully make it an ideal experience.
My great inspiration has always been Studs Terkel, who is a wonderful American oral historian. He was a radio DJ at first, interviewed a lot of jazz musicians, and at some point started to interview Americans about work.
I always wanted to work at ‘Take A Break’ magazine, you know, just to inject a little bit of politics into their stories. I applied for a job there after I’d done my law degree and didn’t even get an interview. I only wrote ‘Garnethill’ because I didn’t get that job!
I remember an interview so terrible with CNN’s Jon Klein, I nearly blurted out, ‘Forget it, I am a loser!’ But I didn’t need to say it. My face and posture did.
Rather than use the term ‘profiling,’ the profilers prefer to say they engage in criminal investigative analysis. That is because, besides developing profiles, the analysts offer a range of other advice, including personality assessments and interview techniques tailored to a particular offender.
The whole being-in-a-room interview thing, at a junket or a film festival, is very inhuman. You meet the person, have five or 10 minutes to talk, and it’s not like a conversation.
Sadly, I’ve learnt that prejudice still exists in parts of the entertainment industry – I did an interview with a magazine once, and the journalist quite openly said they wouldn’t put a black person on the front cover because the magazine wouldn’t sell.
I never want to make people upset, but sometimes we may. When I interview people, I try to make it clear that our obligation is to what we uncover and to telling that story and to presenting it fairly and making sure everyone has a say.
For me, doing an interview with someone is like having therapy.
I did decide that you have to put your name about a bit, and so, although I would have preferred to have never done publicity or an interview or a fashion shoot for a magazine or a chat show.
Some actors actually think about what they’re going to talk about during the interview – they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It’s very smart, but it’s so planned. I never think to do that.
