I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.
I'm actually reading 'World War Z' again! It's incredibly realistic and it's written as an oral history through interviews with different characters. Max Brooks wrote this book in so many different voices. There are about forty or so. It's incredible. When I finish 'World War Z' I'm going to go back and start again on the 'Game of Thrones' series.
My job is to be a spokesman - the spokesman I suppose - for the President for the White House to do the daily briefings to manage the press corps in terms of travel day-to-day needs access interviews all those issues.
I accepted the interviews and encounters that had to be held with the media but I would have preferred to work in peace.
I've had people ask me in interviews what it's like to have money but that's not how it is. I have a middle-class life. I have a room in London but not a house nor a BMW.
In interviews I gave early on in my career I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job marriage and children. In some respects I was a social adolescent.
It's not just about filming you go to awards and interviews too. I enjoy all of it even learning my lines!
I think anyone about to leave one job not surprisingly would use their knowledge their experience their skills drawn from their previous positions to try and earn a living in the future. That's what happens in all interviews.
I hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves.
It's funny because I did all of these interviews as soon as I had the baby and they were asking questions and I really didn't have an idea of anything because I was so blurry.
While it's really hard to do at the same time I'm escaping my body which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.
I think interviews can be fine. It's just there's this terrible fear of coming off wrongly or saying something that gets taken out of context.
They did interviews with my wife and daughter-they were genuinely in fear of me having a heart attack working 20 hours a day eating fast food.
We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.
The only reason I became the singer in the band is because I sang the best. It wasn't out of some desire to be a star or be a famous singer. It's not like I love interviews.
I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.
My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough doing interviews and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.
Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
It's cool to express myself but I've had to learn that doing interviews isn't completely therapy - spilling everything about yourself isn't healthy all the time. But I've been through things that have made me a stronger person and if I can help some people I will.
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 will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
I think people are used to seeing actors be wide open and desperately giving of themselves and while I do that on a movie set as much as I can it's so unnatural for me to do it on television in interviews in anything like that. I also don't find that my process as an actor is really anyone else's business.
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.
I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.
Music's been around a long time and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record that's the frosting on the cake but music's the main meal.
