their vibe, their energy, the type of personality that they are, and therefore what kind of questions they would respond well to.

And I think it's through all of that that I'm able to preempt the moment.

For example, Ethan Hawke, my interview with him went quite viral from the Oscars this year.

And that was because I spent a lot of time

understanding the way that he approaches interviews and he has this ability to like say something really poetic and I don't think everyone kind of knows that about him I think you do have to be like in a wormhole of of his interviews to kind of know that if you just are a fan of his work for example and so I thought it would be interesting to ask him a more kind of

philosophical or like a question, not deeply philosophical, but just something that would provoke that kind of answer in it.

And it worked.

So in a way, I think that's my approach.

You sound like a bit of an obsessive person.

And I say that is the highest compliment.

Well, I don't think I could go into anything that I do without preparing.

And sometimes I feel like maybe it's unnecessary to the level because I think it comes from sometimes with me anyway, like maybe a little bit of a lack of confidence.

in myself or something like that that I feel the need to be so prepared for something but at the same time it just makes me feel comfortable because then I know I can just feel good about it even if it didn't go well I can say well at least I did the best I could beforehand yeah and then it's kind of out of your

hands but I've definitely been interviewed by people before who don't have any notes you know don't have anything and it's just completely off the dome and I've always been so impressed by that level of being able to honestly memorize and maybe it is also a confidence thing too well maybe they're just maybe they're just winging it maybe they didn't memorize anything

I don't know.

And obviously that can work sometimes and can be a disaster other times.

I agree.

I agree.

But are they getting a better interview?

I don't know.
