Usually when you interview somebody for a number of hours, they'll say something that is self-aggrandizing or is a manipulation of the facts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm loath to do interviews. What comes out is generally not what I meant or thought I was saying or thought they were asking.
When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.
An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.
I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.
Job-interviewing is just a skill. Like any skill, some people have more of a predisposition for it than others.
I don't see myself as a Larry King or somebody. When you do interviews, sometimes it turns to interrogations. I'm more of a conversationalist, not throwing hardball questions.
I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.
I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.
Interviews are usually a follow-up, like a press junket or a publicity junket, or something like that, and I'm not doing any of that right now. I don't have any axes to grind.
Interviewing someone is a very proactive process and requires taking a lot of agency into your own hands to get past people's general normal self-preservation mode.
