I was in America for 11-and-a-half months, which as an Englishman is quite a tough thing to do. I lived in Nashville for six months, I lived in L.A. for three months and New York for two.
Prince interview
Prince is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about how he would like to create his own Instagram, working with other musicians and how he feels about putting music online.
It’s a double edge sword. A lot of artists aren’t getting paid full scale for their art and the internet because of downloading and things like that is kind of like a blackhole. It’s hard to audit, it’s hard to get accounting.
Wildtalkradio.com interview
Daniels talks to Wildtalkradio.com about the new direction of TNA and Montel Vontavius Porter coming to the company.
I think it’s a great time to be a TNA fan, because when you see guys like MVP come to TNA; you see guys like Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards (The Wolves) entering TNA, you just got to be happy with the possibilities, the unseen match-ups that so far haven’t been seen and you’re going to get a chance to see them.
Ring Rust Radio interview

One of the things that attracted me to TNA and why I chose to go there was that they did want to do somewhat of a reset and wanted to bring in fresh faces create new younger stars.
ESPN Front Row
Ross talks to ESPN Front Row about Football, wrestling, WWE and Wrestlemania.
I would make sure Daniel Bryan left WrestleMania with his “moment.” Every star in WWE wants to have a WrestleMania moment – meaning some bucket list dream as a professional to go to WrestleMania and steal the show.
Wendi McLendon-Covey interview
Williams interviews McLendon-Covey her about her roles in The Goldburg’s and in the Tyler Perry Movie Single Moms Club. On working with Perry:
I was told you have to call him Mr. Perry and that he doesn’t tolerate any swearing. He is just very quite a task master and all of this. None of that was true. He was so nice. I can’t stress it enough. He was so nice. He doesn’t exhaust the scene. He edits as he goes. So he knows that was a good take lets just move on were not gonna beat it.

You’re afraid of failure, you do the best you can, but you really need to have the perseverance, the stamina, the hard core, to just make it through
Kristen Bell interview
Seacrest interviews Bell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her campain to ban paparazzi from taking photos of children.
It just occurred to me no one was working on the demand side. So I wanted to start a conversation with people, much like when we all found out there is pink slime in our meat, no one wanted to eat it. When you find something nasty goes into procuring something for you as a consumer, your feelings about it change. I think people who look at pictures of kids, like kids. I don’t think they realize it actually creates a really unhealthy and unsafe environment for the child.
Columbus Short interview
Short is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about his two year old bilingual daughter.
My son is not bilingual, my daughter we decided that when we have our daughter we want her to be bilingual, it’s weird now though because she literally speaks Spanish more than she does English.
Sunrise Interview
Perry sits down to an interview with Australian TV show Sunrise and talks about diet, dating life and her kiss with Miley Cyrus.

Nadine Ellis interview
Williams interviews Ellis about her family and career. When asked about her last moments with Aaliyah before the airplane crash that took her life:
I will never forget that last moment when she was about to…you know… they brought another boat out to meet her and take her entourage away. We were out in the middle of the ocean. We were all like, “Hey, can we get a picture?” and she was like, “You guys! Were gonna do the Grammy’s, We’re gonna do the American Music Awards. We have all these awards to do we’ll get the shot then.” We were all like, “Okay”. Then she got on the boat and that was the last time we saw her.
Betty White interview
Betty White returns to the Conan couch and chats with O’Brien about her flirting technique and hotdog-inspired fan art. She also openly expresses her admiration toward fellow guest Jason Momoa’s magazine cover.
White on flirting:
Not good at it. Who wants to flirt with a 92-year-old woman? You don’t get any takers. Well, you always kind of flirt a little. It’s always fun. It gets you in trouble sometimes. Well, I mean, you know, when you’re with a group and then all of a sudden, you just hold somebody’s eyes just a bit.
Makers interview
Ginsburg talks about breaking legal ground for women, her first case before the Supreme Court, and her husband’s support.
I attribute part of my success in law school to my daughter. She was 14 months old when I started. Every day at 4 o’clock, my time at law school was over, and it was children’s time. Each was a respite from the other. When my daughter went to sleep, I was happy to go back to the books.
Tavis Smiley interview
Keys discusses her career and album, Girl on Fire, in this interview for PBS.
Well, I personally, this whole project, this whole time in my life, this whole album really represents a really important time for me, where I’ve actually – it’s funny you bring up that word – where I’ve actually been in the process of removing fear from my vocabulary, from my essence. Because I feel like we can do so much greatness when we’re not afraid. It’s when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.
Pharrell Williams interview
Seacrest interviews Williams during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his collaboration on the single Girl with Miley Cyrus.
I love Miley. I’ll never forget telling you she’s on her way and there’s so much more there [than Hannah Montana] it was a pleasure having her on the record I wanted her tone and I felt her tone took it to the next level.
Esquire interview
Fukunaga speaks about if he has any favorite episodes of HBO’s True Detective that he’s directed:
There’s not one. There are scenes that after we shot we were like, That was a fun scene to shoot, or the guys were really on fire in that scene. The scenes I enjoyed a lot between McConaughey and Harrelson, there were two: One is when they are in the locker room and Cohle makes a comment about Hart’s wife’s pussy, and the other one is the two of them after the hospital in episode four, having drinks at the bar and Hart is trying to have a heart-to-heart with Cohle and Cohle doesn’t want to.
Star Tribune interview
Foley speaks to The Star Tribune about brain research in professional wrestlers, and donating his own brain to science.
I have been approached. These are some tough questions here. You see how quickly I did those autographs? We got through a few hundred people fairly quickly. Signing my name on that form to donate my brain took a long time. It’s a big step, but if other people can learn from what I’ve done, I’m willing to do it.
WWE.com interview
Hogan talks to WWE.com about his career, the WWE, his life inside the wrestling industry and interacting with Vince McMahon upon his return to WWE.
He (McMahon) actually gave me that shot of confidence I needed that night. When I was really jitterbugging right before I had to go out, Vince kicked the door down and he gave me this hug that felt like it should have broken my ribs. He goes, “Go out there and have fun!” And I went, “Yes. That’s what I needed. I needed that from you.” He’s always been there and we’ve always been friends.
WWE.com interview
Hogan talks to WWE.com about Ultimate Warrior and still getting nervous in WWE.
Oh yeah, there were nerves. Even the night before, I couldn’t sleep. I was tossing and turning. I’m thinking, “How are these fans going to welcome me back?” But when I came out right at the top of the show and they saw me, it was almost like I had walked behind a 747 jet. The only way I can explain it to you is it was this energy and it was so loud it was like, “Woah!” It made me take a step back for a minute.
