It wasn’t easy but people around here like football, they like wrestling, they like boxing and they like car crashes. I said, “Hell, we got it all in hockey!”

That is the most vulnerable song we’ve ever written. And we felt so alone when we wrote it and it’s so crazy that that is the song that is doing this. We never thought that would be the single.
Chad:
There is actually another sort of Say Something on the album called I Don’t Want to Love Anybody Else. That’s like my Say Something. There’s no happy ending.

Williams interviews Ana Ortiz and questions her on family and her Lifetime show Devious Maids:
If I had it my way, my family would go somewhere on mother’s day so I could just do my own thing. Catch up on my DVR TV and have some alone time. I really could if I really wanted to; my husband is great like that.
Calls Bieber “f*cking irresponsible *sshole’
In a Rolling Stone interview, Carney comments on his earlier feud with Bieber:
Justin Bieber, like a f*cking irresponsible asshole, sicced 40 million Twitter followers on me because I paid him a compliment he didn’t understand. I’m saying that he should be grateful that he has a f*cking career in music. And he shouldn’t be f*cking telling his followers to slap me, and then also be doing anti-bullying bullsh*t. It’s so irresponsible.
Airbnb interview
Blecharczyk talks with Graham about his advice for growth for Airbnb as it grew:
It was a piece of advice that he gave us that was our turning point in starting to grow our marketplace. He told us that it is ok to do things that don’t scale. Prior to that we’d been working on Airbnb for a year and, despite everything we did, we couldn’t earn more than $200/week. He gave us this piece of advice, we really took it to heart. We went to New York. Photographed people’s properties and met every single user. Invited them for a beer. Told them our story, and really built evangelists out of them. And that was the beginning of how Airbnb grew, first in New York and then cross-pollinated globally.
Graham:
Cockroaches mean founders whose are unkillable. Their startup is unkillable because they can survive on nothing. Cockroaches survive nuclear winters. Cockroaches survive everything. You guys were coackroaches at the time.
Tavis Smiley interview
Dancy discusses his career and role in the NBC thriller Hannibal in this interview for PBS.
Straight off the bat in that first script there was something going on that was different to me from a character point of view. Then after that, Mads, who plays Hannibal, Laurence Fishburne, who plays the other lead character in the show, got attached, and it just got a stronger and stronger package, really.
Iggy Azalea interview
Seacrest interviews Azalea during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about being on Jennifer Lopez’s album.
I love her. I definitely used to sit in my bedroom as a young girl and lip-sync Jennifer Lopez songs, so it’s very cool to have a song with her on her album. She actually only asked me about two weeks ago, so I didn’t have to keep the secret for too long. When I opened on tour for Beyonce, I had to keep that under wraps for months, which really killed me. So this is a breeze.
Romeo Santos interview
Seacrest interviews Santos during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his possible collaboration with Drake and Nicki Minaj.
To be honest with you, every time I’m gonna produce a new record, I’m thinking about artists and the caliber of Drake, Nicki, I have that fear, like ‘Ok, will they be able to adapt to what Bachata is?’ And to be honest, it’s always been their initiative, they always want to sing Spanish, and I find it incredible. The funny thing is they do it so simple, you would think they’ve been influenced or listen to Bachata for a while.
Talib Kweli interview
Kweli performs What’s Real on The Arsenio Hall Show.
I’m born in Brooklyn like Tyson
Modi interview
Goswami interviews Indian Prime Minister Modi and asks him questions about his agenda and stand in 2014 general elections in India.
Jerry Springer interview
Williams interviews Jerry Springer and asks questions about his new TV series, Tabloid on the ID network.
What I didn’t realize is and what they told me is that you are the audience. Women are the people who watch the ID channel. I have a theory on that because it’s a crime show. It’s a weekly crime show on some of the horrible crimes that have happened over the last 30 years that have made the headlines. I believe that women are fascinated about that because when you are a woman in our society, the fear factor is always there to some degree.
Patricia Heaton interview
Williams interviews Patricia Heaton and asks her questions about her family, guest hosting on The View, and her opinion on the show’s replacement panelists.
Well I don’t know how comfortable a guy would be listening to my friend Whoopi talk about her vibrator. I love Whoopi. It’s an interesting thing, I understand it from a “to keep the show fresh” point of view and change it up a little bit. So it could be interesting but then the other side is the whole point was to have gals being able to give the woman’s point of view.
#WaterCooler interview

Whisper is all about creating a place of authenticity and a place of openness
Student loan forgiveness interview
Kirk joins The Willis Report to discuss Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to forgive student loans.
I think it’s totally absurd. What this really is, is a populist push by the base of the Democrat party to punish success and rich people in this country. If you really read the language of this bill, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The focus point of what Elizabeth Warren is trying to do is, she’s trying to say, “These evil Republicans, they don’t want to help students, they would rather help big Republican donors”…I think this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The Talks interview
Steidl gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses taking time off, when a book really becomes a book, and how he gained so much knowledge about printing.
It was just learning by doing. When I started, I was working as a screen printer and I learned about screen printing technology from Andy Warhol and his manager Gerard Malanga. The same with etchings and stone lithographs and later with offset printing. You can always find a guy somewhere who knows about these technologies. I was young, I was 20, 25 years old, and of course they were proud to give their knowledge to me. The rest is doing experiments and testing and not giving up. If something is not satisfying start again, turn everything upside down and find a new formula for printing. Everything is learning by doing.
Ross Report interview
Michaels is a guest on The Ross Report to discuss Wrestlemania and The Undertaker’s streak ending.
I don’t know all the ins and outs of it. I have no desire to. It’s none of my business. In my own personal opinion, I would have liked to see Undertaker go undefeated and then retire.
