The thing I love about political interviews is, if you're really prepared, you can make great headway because these are the people for whom, theoretically at least, the buck stops.
If I could have anybody I haven't had, I'd want to interview somebody like Jay-Z or Puff Daddy, pick their minds a little bit.
Interviewing politicians and movie stars, you know what you'll get. I like the people-stories better.
I've interviewed the president in the White House. I'd interviewed major newsmakers and Hollywood actors.
The thing is, I love a celebrity interview. Doesn't matter how big or how small. It could be Hillary Clinton or the guy who made it to the third round of 'Popstars,' I'll read it.
I welcome all interviews with 'Rolling Stone' magazine, and I'm sure people will talk to me in the future.
As a professional journalist, I've been interviewing people for almost thirty years. And the one thing I've learned from all those interviews is that I am always going to be surprised.

When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.
I'm frightened of interviews.
