I remember an interview so terrible with CNN's Jon Klein, I nearly blurted out, 'Forget it, I am a loser!' But I didn't need to say it. My face and posture did.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Interviews make me so nervous - I can't get a sentence out of my mouth.
After I get comfortable, I kind of forget that we're even doing an interview and I say whatever comes to the mind.
I remember interviewing someone I actually felt bad for, and therefore didn't want to take an ironic stance against him. It actually turned out to be a really funny piece.
For years, I didn't give interviews because I was scared of people judging me or thinking I was arrogant.
I just don't want to give out interviews. I just hate them. Inevitably, I ended up hurting some people or leaving some names out or getting quoted out of context.
I was a very bad journalist. Awful. I would just invent everything. If I did an interview, I had a preconception of what that person should say and I would put my words in his mouth.
Early on I decided that I was going to lie to the press. The best approach to talking about my personal life was to lie.
I had this job at Hollywood Video, and during my worst audition ever, I forgot all of my lines in front of Chuck Lorre at the callback for the 'Mike and Molly' pilot.
I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.
The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa.
