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.

I don't pretend to be a great interviewer; I don't even pretend to be good at my job.

You can be a great reporter and not be such a great talk show host.

I am really bad at actually interviewing people.

I'm notorious for giving a bad interview. I'm an actor and I can't help but feel I'm boring when I'm on as myself.

I'm very unrelaxed doing a newspaper interview.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

I'm not a go-in-for-the-kill kind of interviewer. It's a great thing to me, that kind of interviewer, but I'm not it. It doesn't play to my strengths at all. I like to interview people who are interested in telling their story and tell it as truthfully as they can.

I don't really like doing interviews.
