song favorites-things my-favorite
I love songs. Songs are my favorite things.
want helping politician
I don't want to help a politician revise the truth.
google
Google started as a free search engine. It's still free, but now it's making a lot of money on ads, right? A lot of money.
misunderstood asking lines
Anyone who agrees to be interviewed must decide where to draw the line between what is public and what is private. But the line can shift, depending on who is asking the questions. What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being 'found out.' It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.

I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.

reading kind internet
When you're reading a newspaper and you're seeing ads on the page, it's not kind of invasive. Like, it's on the page next to the article. You can look at it or not. You can turn the page when you're ready. On the internet, the ads - many of the ads - just are so controlling. They insist that you see them.
lying character over-you
The excitement for me lies not so much in interviewing the hard-to-get famous person, but the person whom you are about to discover. You know, like maybe the character actors who are just coming into their own and you're realizing how great they are.
real life-is boring
Often real life is boring and problematic. I love the edited version of it.
artist dimensions ifs
Work can take on a new dimension if you know something about the artist.
