But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

So interviews are a valuable tool, but under certain circumstances they'd be more valuable than others.

When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

You do 1,000 interviews, 20 percent of every one is not what you said, or is twisted a little. If you multiply 20 by 1,000 you've got a lot of inaccuracies out there.

I sometimes find that in interviews you learn more about yourself than the person learned about you.

When you do an interview with me, you're talking to a cheap imitation of the person that I really am. There's no magic in my words, it's just me talking.

I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.
