I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

I don't really know how to describe my personal style.

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.

I don't really like doing interviews.

I am really bad at actually interviewing people.

I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.

Interviews make me so nervous - I can't get a sentence out of my mouth.

I've done so many interviews that I've gotten past the ego and the personality.

My advice to all interviewers is: Shut up and listen. It's harder than it sounds.

There's only one interview technique that matters... Do your homework so you can listen to the answers and react to them and ask follow-ups. Do your homework, prepare.
