I'm not the betting kind.
From Terry Gross
What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being found out.
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.
I know that everyone who listens to radio creates you in a visual image that they need you to have. Whatever that is, I thought, let them have it. Let me be who the listener needs me to be and let me not contradict that with the reality of my photograph and risk disappointing them.
Many artists use their own lives as a kind of case study to examine what it's like to be human.
I don't want to help a politician revise the truth.
I've never seen radio as the minor leagues, where I'm just really preparing to be in the show that really counts, namely, television, which is, I think, what people often assume. I've never felt that way.
I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound.
Work can take on a new dimension if you know something about the artist.
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
