Interview Quotes - page 14

I had a job interview at an insurance company once and the lady said Where do you see yourself in five years and i said Celebrating the fifth year anniversary of you asking me this question. (Mitch Hedberg)

When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.

Shirley Manson

I have a whole series of pictures that are, I mean in a sense, landscapes. Well, I wouldn't hold the landscape in front of me and translate it more abstractly into the painting, no. But I would - again in that American expedient thing you [Barbara Rose, earlier in the interview] were talking about - thinking ideas in my language. Sort of like today. 'Hm, bunch of roses', hm. 'Flags out the window', hm.... But once it got down on the surface I would say in 99 times out of a 100, out of 101, nobody would come along and say how come you put 'shoes' in a picture. I mean it would be too brown or too green.

Helen Frankenthaler

I don't mind anyone asking me any questions, I've got nothing to hide. I like it to be as real as it is, that's what I call an interview.

Katie Price

Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, in a right way, for maximum results. It's a program that the mind begins to experience its own finer impressions, finer thoughts, and then finally transcends the finest thought. And that is the level of what they call self-referral pure consciousness, which is the ultimate reality of life, pure intelligence from where the creation emerges, from where the administration of life is maintained, from where physical expression of the universe has its basis. Quoted from: w:Larry King Weekend, Interview With Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

Orson Welles

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

Ville Valo

I don't talk a lot when I interview. My job is to get out of the way.

Anna Deavere Smith

Franci Interview with Henri Massis, 1938. Quoted in Massis's book Chefs, Paris, Plon 1939. Also quoted in Richard Griffiths, An Intelligent Person's Guide to Fascism. London : Duckworth Publishing, 2000.

Francisco Franco

If I were Sarah Palin, would I want to sit in an interview with someone who was secretly out to get me? Probably not.

Megyn Kelly

The literary interview won't tell you what a writer is like. Far more compellingly to some, it will tell you what a writer is like to interview. (Martin Amis)

I was reading an interview with Keith Richards in a magazine and in the interview Keith Richards intimated that kids should not do drugs. Keith Richards! Says that kids should not do drugs! Keith, we can't do any more drugs because you already fucking did them all, alright? There's none left! We have to wait 'til you die and smoke your ashes! Jesus Christ! Talk about the pot and the fuckin' kettle.

Denis Leary

Being one of my sources is exhausting. It's not one interview and you're done. I keep going back until I feel like I understand everything.

Thomas Friedman

I've learned that people latch onto labels and stereotypes. There was a period when I was asked in every single interview how I liked being the new Frank Sinatra... I think people will soon realize that I do a lot more than interpret old songs.

Harry Connick

It's the story of an American who wants to become a dictator and goes to Europe with a sidekick to interview various Fascists to find out how the Nazis and Mussolini got into power.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

There's no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they'll probably Google you. It's a shame - people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I'm angry about something, I'm not going to take to my Twitter.

Patrick Stump

As critical acclaim and response has built up, every interview I give is a chance to puncture the myth I've created about my work and refine it.

James Ellroy

I've been on 'Jay Leno,' and everyone likes Jay, but being on that show is a really boring afternoon. I sincerely like Jay, but I wouldn't want his job, because I'd have to interview Kathy Ireland, and there's nothing there I'd want to know.

Henry Rollins

I would like go to Palestine and interview people there about what their lives are like; same thing in Iran.

Henry Rollins

an interview for The Journal of Advanced Rhetoric (2018)

Philippe Sollers

I was extremely annoyed because I was doing NY1 a favor by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests. The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor. I doubt that I am the first Member of Congress to tell off a reporter, and I am sure I won't be the last. (Michael Grimm)

I think it is quite untrue that it is standard journalistic practice to name the interviewer when quoting from an interview.

Fareed Zakaria

I don't roll like that but I've never been with a hooker either. Yeah, that's good to say in an interview cause I feel bad a little because people grew up watching me and that's a little disturbing.

Bob Saget

I don't like Heather Graham. She did an interview and said, 'I didn't want to kiss Corey; I didn't want to catch his mononucleosis. He had a kissing disease.'

Corey Haim

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilisation from destroying itself." (Interview,, September 14, 1958)
