Esquire interview
Ailes talks about having liberal voices on Fox News Network:
Tell me who you want to see on the left and I’ll hire them. If you give me a big name that’s out there, that’s floating around and wants work, I’d be happy to hire them. We have Ed Rendell, I mean he was the head of the Democratic party. He’s on twice a week. You can’t get any bigger than that. I go for people who will get ratings, but I’d be happy to put a bigger name Democrat on if you’ve got one. Now that probably surprises you and won’t get into the story, but it’s true. I want people who have marquee value.
Elle Magazine interview
Lynch gives interview to Elle about how she started her successful career.
I worked for free a lot. I did stuff I thought was stupid. Even for free I did things I thought were stupid. I’d do things to help a friend out. One would say, “I’m going to do a short and you’re going to play the boss.” And I’d be rolling my eyes, knowing how disorganized it was going to be and that I’d have to bring my own clothes. But it was always, “Okay, I’ll do it.”
WFNZ in Charlotte interview
Smith talks about the level of competition Duke faces:
If you look on paper, you can kind of think there’s a huge gap between us and the next team, but, as players, when we take the court, there’s no such thing as a gap in the ACC. … We have to always be ready to play. In the ACC, road games are tough, fans are always ready, teams are ready. I think there’s still a lot of good teams in this conference.

Elle Magazine interview

Harper’s Bazaar interview
Taylor gives an interview to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine about why she chose not to run for U.S. Senate.
It wasn’t the right time. I want to make a difference, and how I’m doing that now is through the not for profit work. If I were to run for Senate, my calculation is, what kind of an impact am I going to have were I to win? I don’t have an answer to that question. If you are a junior member of a minority party one of 100 people in the U.S. Senate, what really can you do? Well, you’re just going to get frustrated.

Edsall explains why Maryland is his dream coaching job:
Well first of all, I grew up 70 miles from the campus and as a young man our father brought us down to our first football game here and went to camp here and it was really the school that I followed growing up. I wasn’t good enough to get recruited here so I went to Syracuse but it was just one of those things and I always was a Maryland person and you know whether it was listening to games, watching them, whether it was football or basketball that was the kind of team I grew up with because I wasn’t a Penn State fan, you know always on Oriole fan and Colt fan and things, and then Maryland.

Sawyer discusses the advice she receives along the her journey especially from her father.
My dad, I still think, had the most beautiful, simple checklist for what you should do in life: Do something you really love that you would do it anyway. Do it in the most adventurous place you can do it. And make sure that it helps other people. And if you feel there’s a genuine need for it, and that through that need you can help other people, you’re home.
Chico Debarge interview
Williams interviews Chico Debarge on the Wendy Williams Experience, questioning him on his famous family, career and rumors of his love child.
That was my brother? Alright I’m not going to make you look crazy out here. I know that those rumors are going around because I have heard them myself from family and close friends. I believe that there is a strong possibility. But then again that’s only a strong possibility that I could have a child. I really don’t want to say something and be unsure because it would be unfair.
WFNZ in Charlotte interview

The latest is the same and it’s he’s going to be out an extended period of time. We’re having him see a couple of the best people in the country. We have one of the best people in the country right here at Duke in Jim Nunnely, and he’ll see a couple other people over the course of the next several weeks. We have a course of action in seeing people and while he’s seeing those people, he’s in a position where recovery is taking place. However, it’s a very sensitive injury and there’s a few different methods you would go about in treating it, and we want to make sure that the method we’re using ensures his career.

Elle Magazine interview
Dorff gives interview to Elle about his most embarrassing moment.
I was at a dinner party maybe five years ago. It might have been at my former lawyer’s house, and it was 15 or 20 people, some art collectors—in no way a club atmosphere. There was a woman next to me who literally started trying to take my trousers off at the table. She didn’t look like the type; I guess she thought I’d be down for it, but I wasn’t. I had to move my seat.

Why did one person like it but the other person didn’t? One thought it was too much and the other thought it was not enough. It took me fifteen years to understand. Every person is a world. It’s better not to ask. Otherwise, you’re going to end up at the psychoanalyst.
Harper’s Bazaar interview

A boy gave me a quarter of a tab. I didn’t know what it was. I actually had never taken drugs and was very nervous. And I never did take drugs [afterward] ever, ever.
