The reporter claimed he was going to write the article from my point of view. Instead, he made me sound like a little idiot. It made me never want to do another interview again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An interview will seem very sane to me, and I'll find out that the journalist was laughing out of the side of his mouth half of the time.
What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.
If a reporter doesn't like the person he's writing about, it shows up in his article.
I always felt journalists had a very clear idea of what they wanted to write about me before the interview began.
I think it's a problem when journalists have the title of their article before they do the interview, because it biases the way they conduct it.
It's an odd experience reading interviews with yourself. Interesting, though. Of course, you know that the journalist will have edited, rephrased or even rewritten what you actually said, but you can't help feeling that there's a special kind of truth in the way someone else paints you, however subjective they might be.
I'm so reluctant to do newspaper interviews because it's so misleading how they interpret what you say.
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.
A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.
I would never have been a good reporter because I am not accurate regarding facts.
