How important interviews are?

Question

I met a reader and she was discussing with me an article she had just read in a Spanish magazine about me. She told me that she kept on reading the same things in my interviews. Of course, she has read all of my books and follows my career. Yet, she’s right to have this feeling given that journalists always repeat the same questions, over and over again.

So here is my question of the week for you: How important interviews are?

Answer 1

Hey Paulo...

I think interviews are important. They can be dynamic and they can be boring...I guess you feel that the minute you sit down with the journalist. Some do their work in an inspired way and others do it like a routine.

Persons like Christina Pacheco here in Mexico are amazing, her TV Show....never bores me. She knows how to make a link and a thread....how to extract the most intimate, fascinating creative details of a person she interviews....

I wish I could see an interview of you made by her, that would be awesome.

By the way...if you like check out the music this great Swiss guitarist made with my lyrics....these are the ones I like the most.

Streaming lights

Endless circles of streaming lights

Flood my eyes with awe and fear

And thunder of this engine fights

Against  memories I no longer bear

So I drive on and drive away

Pushing the limits of today

Heavy raindrops damp the sorrow

My last confusion dreads tomorrow

This land of contrasts brings me down

No difference from democracy to crown

We are caught by raw ambition

Links the empty road to perdition

So I drive on and drive away

Pushing the limits of today

Heavy raindrops damp the sorrow

My last confusion dreads tomorrow
