Rude interviewers are ten a penny, and politicians have long since learned how to cope.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't understand these politicians who want to be president and complain when they get a tough interview.
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 you interviewed 1,000 politicians and asked about whether the media's too soft or too hard, about 999 would say too hard.
I can remember how rude I could be at times to journalists and people phoning up for advice.
One of the first things I did was interview the President of the United States. Some people work their whole lives and can't interview someone of that stature.
An interview has become such a confrontational thing. It makes you very defensive.
Our politicians don't say anything anymore: they just refute and assert.
I do not believe that I have had an interview with anybody in twenty-five years in which the person to whom I was talking was not annoyed during the early part of the interview by my asking stupid questions.
The press always ends up being much nicer than I expect. A lot of times they say something snarky about you, but then you meet them in person and they couldn't be nicer.
People are not impressed by watching interviewees cry. People recognize chat shows with personalities as the trivial things that they are. They're not designed to be deep. Quite frankly, people in show business don't stand up to in-depth scrutiny.
