Jerry Springer interview

Interview0 Comments

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

Interview0 Comments

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.

Student loan forgiveness interview

Interview0 Comments

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

Interview0 Comments

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

Interview0 Comments

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.

Talk is Jericho interview

Interview0 Comments

Sweet appears on Talk is Jericho to discuss music, his career, future plans and his autobiography.

I enjoyed it (writing his book) so much but at the end of the day, looking back on it. What it did take, my gosh! It took a lot. I was interviewed for 16 or 17 hours and then it was transcribed. Then the writing process actually began.

 

Steve Austin Show interview

Interview0 Comments

Bischoff talks to The Steve Austin Show WCW and his rise to power in the company.

I was passionate and I felt it. I believed in it. I believed in myself. I’ve been passionate about wrestling since I was a little kid and I was passionate about my approach to it. And the solution that I had, especially given that Turner had identified as their problem, which was not wanting any more wrestling guys running a television company. So, it worked.

Music Recall interview

Interview0 Comments

Kingston talks to Music Recall Magazine about his Jamaican gimmick and his early days in WWE.

It was something that I came up with on the independent scene. It was funny because I was kind of just joking around in one of our classes. And then everyone in the class was like ‘oh, you have to do that, it’s so entertaining.’ So that’s the route that I went.

angelina-jolie-elle-cover-inlineThe actress appears on the cover of the June 2014 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about how she never thought she would find love or have children.

I never thought I’d have children. I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home—you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

John Leguizamo interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams interviews John Leguizamo and asks questions about his latest film, Chief. 

It’s ‘Chief’ right, so it’s about a chief. He has a lot of success in LA. He gets very famous but it goes to his head, he gets very narcissistic. So his life starts to fall apart. His wife leaves him and he gets a new girlfriend.

Justin Timberlake interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Timberlake during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about re-working the single Love Never Felt So Good for the Michael Jackson Xscape project.

The demo is just Michael and a piano, so funny enough, when we got the track to work on, when you peeled everything away, you couldn’t separate Michael’s vocals from the piano. It was all on one track. We had numerous people dig through archives and this is the only existing demo we could find It makes you feel that early ’80s Off the Wall/Thriller right around that time when I’m sure he was recording a bunch of music.
