I've realized why I don't tell the truth in interviews. It's because they're printed months later, and you change so quickly - you have new thoughts, new everything - so people are reading an old version of you.

I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.

I still don't like doing interviews. I hardly do any... I hope this will be the last one for a long while.

I might just stop talking again and not do interviews.

That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it.

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.

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

When you're doing well and you're successful, part of being successful is that you get interviewed. But it ruins the moment.

I just find that there's something about looking back on interviews, whether for purposes of remembering what I said about something or if it's for posterity when I'm 75.

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive.
