I'm not a go-in-for-the-kill kind of interviewer. It's a great thing to me, that kind of interviewer, but I'm not it. It doesn't play to my strengths at all. I like to interview people who are interested in telling their story and tell it as truthfully as they can.
From Ira Glass
I read the newspaper, but I live in my own little bubble.
Honestly, like, I'm a superfan of the 'New York Times,' but I know nothing about how they put it together, and I really don't care.
I was a temp secretary for a long time, and I went at it with a passion, and I tried to do a nice job in all my jobs.
I eat the same breakfast and lunch every day, both at my desk. I employ no time-saving tricks at all.
I don't think I'm better than everyone else at anything, but I am very quick at organizing a big mass of interview tape into a structure.
I'll meet listeners who tell me what a great voice I have. But I don't have a great voice for radio. My voice is the utterly normal voice, but sheer repetition has made them think it's OK. Mick Jagger once was asked, 'What makes a hit song? He said, 'Repetition.'
I like excess. And giant M&M's.
Not owning a car anymore, I feel like I'm barely an American. I miss it. And I barely ever get to listen to the radio in the car, which is the best place for radio.
I'm a cliche.
