The Art of The interview
Selected Interviews
This section presents selected interviews which I believe express the art of the interview. Five qualities appear common to each of the interviews, amidst differing subjects, people and venues.
First, while all of these interviews differ in many regards, each seeks answers based on truth. Second the interviewer listens. And so does the interviewee. Third, many of the questions are simple, yet thoughtful. The interviewer genuinely knows their subject. Next, interviewee answers are in the spotlight, not interviewer opinion. Finally, while there may be some contentious subject matter discussed, respect is maintained throughout the interview.
With both indepth questions and listening, it is the art of the interview.
