I am repeatedly asked in interviews exactly 'what's wrong' with me, and I always give them the same answer; I don't identify the name of my condition in an interview unless it's relevant to the context of the story.

When you're interviewing someone, even your mother - you have to sort of deal with you have to get some objective space from yourself and the person but you also have to find what's the best way to get the information from that person.

Interviewers actively fool themselves, finding ways to learn from interviews even if there's actually nothing there to learn from.

Maybe the real subject of every interview is how you really can't learn much of anything about anyone from an interview.

I am really bad at actually interviewing people.

When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.

Interviewing people is pretty natural for me.

My basic approach to interviewing is to ask the basic questions that might even sound naive, or not intellectual. Sometimes when you ask the simple questions like 'Who are you?' or 'What do you do?' you learn the most.

Interviewing someone is very similar to preparing a character, isn't it? You're just asking questions: 'Who is this person? Why did they make that choice? Why are they doing that?' You're being Sherlock Holmes.

I have a hard time with interviews, because I'd rather hear about the interviewer.
