Esquire interview
Glick talks about his Comedy Central show Primetime Glick:
And now I’m blessed with the opportunity to talk to celebrities and get a sense of the worlds that they inhabit so wondrously. Case in point: A fortnight ago, I was gabbin’ with the irrepressible Kathie Lee Gifford about her switch from Jewishness to born-again-ness. She asked me if I was aware that Jesus was a Jew, and I said, No, but I had heard that he was thrifty.
CNN interview
Klain is interviewed by Greta Van Susteren on Sen. Jeffords’s move away from the Republican Party and the power shift in the Senate. Klain talks about Supreme Court nominations by Pres. Bush compared with Clinton’s:
I think the important thing is how the Judiciary Committee moves forward to deal with this period of divided government, of a Senate now controlled by the Democrats, a Republican president in the White House, and how they go about processing judicial nominations at this very important, very sensitive time.
O Magazine interview
Bush talks about being compared to Clinton:
I am going to be Laura Bush. Every first lady has been different, and she has used her passion for the benefit of our nation. For example, Lady Bird Johnson made a huge contribution to our country through her love of nature—the Highway Beautification Act was really the start of the environmental movement. That’s pretty radical.
O Magazine interview
Mandela speaks about being in prison for 27 years and how it shaped him as a person:
But in a single cell in prison, I had time to think. I had a clear view of my past and present, and I found that my past left much to be desired, both in regard to my relations with other humans and in developing personal worth.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Albano addresses the start of his career in WWE:
Well, I got started years ago. I just got out of the service, this was around 1952, and Vince McMahon, Sr., Willie Gilzenberg sent me down to him and I started wrestling and I wrestled for about 20 years and Bruno Sammartino said to me, “You know you are not a great wrestler, but you’re a good talker, a good bs’er, you never shut up.” So they started me managing in the sixties with Crusher Vadue, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Curtis Iaukea, the Moondogs, and I had the British Bulldogs later on and I had the Valiant Brothers and the Wild Samoans.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Zenk speaks about the possible sale of WCW:
I mean, come on! Has anyone done a cost-benefit analysis of the implications of the AOL-Time Warner merger for its wrestling product? I mean, real money could be made selling wrestling product across all AOL-Time Warner media outlets. You could download wrestling, you could watch wrestling on demand via the net, etc. Vince would kill for all of their outlets world wide. Is Siegel that naive? …. I can’t believe Time Warner could be so stupid to give all this away to Bischoff for pennies.
O Magazine interview
Midler gives her thoughts about meeting her husband for the first time:
We first met at a party; a group of us went to a concert together. I didn’t see him for years after that. Then, in the early 1980s, I went to this performance-art show and he was there. He said, ‘I don’t know if you remember me, but I met you at a show once’. He took my number, but he didn’t call for two years. The day he did call, I was sobbing—I was going through a bad patch. I picked up the phone, and he said, ‘Is this…who is this?’ And I said, ‘This is Bette.’ We went out the next weekend, and a few weeks later we were married.
ALL interview
Aaliyah chats about acting, waiting on the right acting role, the cast of Romeo Must Die, having fun outside of working, dating, doing a future duet with Janet Jackson, working with producer Timbaland and what she is most proud of:
What feels the best is when I receive that plaque knowing that my fans went and picked up the album and they are the reason why I am sitting on this couch and I am doing what I am doing. I have no regrets, I’ve lived a full life at 21, I’ve done a lot in just 21 years…I am very happy.
CBS interview
Aaliyah chats about Romeo Must Die, her love for acting, growing up, animated movie Anastasia, her excitement on being in the Oscars, love of horror and vampire movies.
Growing up for me, everything was based on entertainment. I come from a family that’s always been involved in this business and I went to Catholic school, went to performing arts high school where I majored in dance, took drama and music. I was always grounded my parents made sure I had everything that a child has….I went to parties, I went to my prom, I did all those sort of things.
O Magazine interview
Angelou talks about the impact of her book, Caged Bird:
Because of the rape. And yet I just read someplace that after a woman had read Caged Bird, she realized she wasn’t alone. I think in some cases Caged Bird has saved some lives—not just the quality of life, which is very important, but life itself. I get letters from young women and men, and I am able to say to them, “You can survive rape. You never forget it—don’t even think that. But you can survive it and go on.
MTV interview
Eminem chats about making his big break into the music industry, getting a buzzclip, negative interviews, and lyrical style.
I was out to impress Dr. Dre to show him what I can do. When I saw Dre nodding his head and laughing at some of the things I was saying and what not I was like, I am in…I made it.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Hennig discusses a possible match with Austin in WWE:
Yeah, well there is a little truth to it, but I don’t know much to dwell on that much. Yeah, I think. The reaction from when I was at the announce table with Vince and Austin was in the ring and we had words back and forth, I know that the eruption was unbelievable, so. I could just see Vince going (imitating Vince and laughs) ah-ha-ha, he’s getting his fingers into something here, because the character Mr. Perfect and the Austin character, that would have been a clash and it still might be.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Sable speaks about women competing in the WWE:
I think it’s wonderful that women are having the opportunity to be involved in the wrestling business. Honestly, I’d like to think that I had a lot to do with that. I think that women have proven themselves over and over again in this business and it’s great that they are given the opportunity once again. Back in the days of the Fabulous Moolah, and Wendy Richter, they were the forerunners of this business, Luna even. They kind of disappeared for a while and I came in and it all picked up again and that’s actually when they brought the women’s championship back. It was a wonderful time and I’m glad it’s continuing.
O Magazine interview
Wiesel talks about hie memoir Night:
I wrote that, but I didn’t hate. I just felt terribly angry and humiliated. At that point, our disappointment was not with the Germans but with the Hungarians. They had been our neighbors [before they joined forces with the Nazis and captured us]. The moment we left our homes, they became vultures. They came into our house and robbed us of everything. And I was terribly disappointed. I used the word hate because that was the strongest feeling I could imagine having. But when I think about it now, there was no hate in me. I grew up learning that hate destroys the hater as much as its victim. I didn’t hate the Germans, so how can I hate the Hungarians?
Martin Cohen interview
Cohen talks to Entertainment Tonight about how the show changed television, based on how things were changing in society in 1984, with more women going out into the workforce.
The idea in those days of role reversal was happening. I mean women were going out into the workforce, men were staying home with the kids.
O Magazine interview
Pontier speaks about becoming a film producer:
I decided that I must learn everything I could about the production of motion pictures. In a way, I had always been doing that by watching directors, but I decided I wanted to make films. I entered an agreement with Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Barbra Streisand. We started a film production company called First Artists. I did four movies with them. I did Uptown Saturday Night, Let’s Do It Again and A Piece of the Action. I did A Warm December as well.
