Interviews Quotes

They think my life is glamourous. It’s not true. I obviously get to come in and do radio interviews. That’s the glamour. But other than that, I eat and sleep and that’s it. Eat, sleep and do shows Picture Quote #1

I get mad at people who talk about traumatic job interviews, about going on one and getting rejected. I get rejected all the time and not only do I get rejected, but people have no problem being really specific about why I was rejected Picture Quote #1

Song ideas have come to me in the middle of interviews, in the shower, or while I’m writing another song Picture Quote #1

I am an extremely private person. I always feel that I come across as a caricature of myself whenever I do interviews Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent days in cinemas answering questions from the audience, in interviews, travelling abroad, and all they do is thank me nicely Picture Quote #1

My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble Picture Quote #1

One of the things that’s clear to me from interviews that I’ve read is that the more popular successful jazz musicians had audiences above and beyond the music community Picture Quote #1

I knew nothing about film at all. I suppose the biggest surprise is all these things. In the theatre we sort of do, I might do two or three key interviews and that would be it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

People always think I hate doing interviews. I don’t. I wouldn’t do them if I didn’t like them Picture Quote #1

I was burned so many times that I stopped giving interviews. In other words, if my words ended up in print, they were twisted in an indescribable fashion Picture Quote #1

I don’t like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what’s even worse, of being quoted exactly Picture Quote #1

I do get bottled up in interviews. You’re thinking about what you’re saying, and suddenly you get all tangled. So people think I’m sullen, or that I don’t have much to say. But my friends will tell you: a lot of times I talk too much Picture Quote #1

You know I was a shy guy and people didn’t know that and still don’t know it today. I’m sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything Picture Quote #1

I’m so reluctant to do newspaper interviews because it’s so misleading how they interpret what you say Picture Quote #1

I’ve lost count of the interviews I’ve done about my illness and its relationship to my ideas and writing Picture Quote #1

My stuff always starts with interviews. I start interviewing people, and then slowly but surely, a movie insinuates itself Picture Quote #1

I say really stupid things sometimes. When I go back and watch some of my old interviews from when I was younger, I just cringe Picture Quote #1

If I do three interviews in a day, I can be exhausted, because the process of hearing everyone requires that I empty out myself. While I’m listening, my own judgments and prejudices certainly come up. But I know I won’t get anything unless I get those things out of the way Picture Quote #1

I think if you do a lot of interviews, you’re laying yourself open. If you put yourself out, accept every invitation to every premiere, then you can’t really complain when people knock on your front door and photograph you in the street Picture Quote #1

Back in my time, and I sound old now, it was black and white boots and that was it. Now you’ve got snoods, people wearing headphones when they’re doing interviews, which I find disrespectful. Pink boots, green boots, you name it, even tights. They’ll be wearing skirts next Picture Quote #1

You see a lot over 30 years and you try to be professional and responsible. A lot of the interviews you do can be very haunting Picture Quote #1

I think the day that I become comfortable doing interviews and going on talk shows is the day that I don’t know what it is to be a human being anymore Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to get so lost in thinking about me and talking about me all the time in interviews. It’s so nice to unwind and just look at other things and get out of yourself. It’s hard to detach myself from myself without neglecting myself. You know what I mean? I don’t want to get in to the habit of thinking about my career because when it comes down to it, it’s not really that important. I could die tomorrow and the world would go on Picture Quote #1

I just simply am not a dater. I think I have been on three official dates in my life. They are like job interviews and I refuse to be romantically employed Picture Quote #1

You never really meet a human being until you live with them or know them for awhile, so this is my clown and they understand that and so these interviews don’t bother them Picture Quote #1

I have observed that male writers tend to get asked what they think and women what they feel. In my experience, and that of a lot of other women writers, all of the questions coming at them from interviewers tend to be about how lucky they are to be where they are – about luck and identity and how the idea struck them. The interviews much more seldom engage with the woman as a serious thinker, a philosopher, as a person with preoccupations that are going to sustain them for their lifetime Picture Quote #1

I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I’m pretty laid back Picture Quote #1

I find that talking about myself is often the most boring thing in the world. Sixty per cent of interviews I find mechanical Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews or interviews or anything, just because I’m afraid; If I believed the good, then I’d believe the bad, and there will be bad Picture Quote #1
