Time interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley is interviewed for Time and discusses whether she considers herself a feminist:

No because I love men, and I think the idea of ‘raise women to power, take the men away from the power’ is never going to work out because you need balance. With myself, I’m very in touch with my masculine side. And I’m 50 percent feminine and 50 percent masculine, same as I think a lot of us are.

Tavis Smiley interview

Interview0 Comments

Senator Sanders discusses the minimum wage debate, poverty in the United States, and presidential politics in this interview for PBS.

Well first of all, let’s be very clear. You have many, many Republicans, and I don’t think most Americans know this, but you have many Republicans from the Koch brothers on down who not only do not want to raise the minimum wage, their view is that we should abolish the concept of the minimum wage. That means if you’re in a high unemployment area and an employer offers you three bucks an hour, then that’s what the wage will be. But the bottom line for the Republicans in general, it’s the same old story.

Bruni discusses her first North American tour and fourth CD, Little French Songs, in this interview for PBS.

It’s wonderful to be able to be in America and to play my French music in America. But so music has no language, right, so yeah, I feel a lot freer and very happy, because we have time for the family, a lot less pressure.

Piper’s Pit interview

Interview0 Comments

DDP is a guest on Piper’s Pit to discuss road stories, Dusty Rhodes and Jake Roberts.

Sam Smith interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Smith during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his single Stay With Me.

There’s a rawness to that song, which I hope a lot people can connect with. I’m an emotional guy and I think unlike a lot of men in the industry and in music, I’m willing to show that emotional side. I don’t have an bravado to put in front, and I’m just showing my raw self.

New York Times interview

Interview0 Comments

Woodley is interviewed for the New York Times about her passion for the role in The Fault In Our Stars, being a child actress, and life in Hollywood:

Everyone says to me, ‘What does it feel like to be part of the Hollywood life now?’  And I want to say, ‘It’s fabricated.’ None of it’s real. We all go to these events. We put on makeup and clothes that aren’t ours. We give them back at the end of the night, and then we go home and burp the same garlic burps as everyone else. You still have to do your laundry, and your dishes are everywhere. It’s just life.”
