We were in Little Rock. We were assessing a very important issue. In the midst of our discussions, we were receiving urgent inquiries from The Washington Post asking about interviews.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know if it was much of an interview. We just shot the breeze.
I'm not an interviewer. I have conversations.
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.
When the press began asking me for interviews, I freaked out. My instinct is to hide.
Ah, I don't do interviews, really.
I give thousands of interviews, and I'm probably about as open as anybody in Washington as far as access goes, so I'll continue to do that.
I am a demanding person to interview.
I never turn down requests for interviews. I'm just rarely asked.
I'm happy to do interviews from time to time, but I don't find them that necessary - and that hasn't seemed to have affected people's understanding of our work.
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.
