Allvoices interview

Interview0 Comments

Hoover says that living in San Francisco helps, but that meeting people online can be more important for a startup founder:

Many of the relationships I’ve formed didn’t start in person. They began online through my writing, communities like Quibb and Twitter. Face-to-face meetings are the best way to get to know someone but they’re not nearly as scalable as online interactions.

Altman talks about meeting Steve Jobs, working with startups in the risky early stages, and the challenge Y Combinator faces in convincing people to start their own companies instead of joining Facebook and Google:

How do we convince that brilliant engineer that has the idea he’s really passionate about, that can change the world, to start a startup and not go work as an engineer at a big company?

Forbes interview

Interview0 Comments

In an interview with Forbes magazine, Levine talks about how he finds successful entrepreneurs:

There isn’t a goto way of assessing and saying, ‘Ok, here are the six criteria this founder matches.’ But, in almost all cases, there is something exceptional about the person. And sometimes it’s not one person, sometimes it’s two, and they have this incredible way of complimenting each other.

Tavis Smiley interview

Interview0 Comments

Langella discusses his career and newest projects in this interview for PBS.

I think the danger of my generation and certainly some of my colleagues is oh, I’ve been there, oh, I’ve done that – why bother? But my feeling now at this age, and I’m lucky, I’m healthy and I’m in relatively good shape, is if I don’t do it now, when am I going to do it?

Ross Report interview

Roberts is a guest on The Ross Report to discuss regional promotions, NWA, WCW and sobriety.

Steven Tyler, Joe Perry interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Tyler and Perry during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions them on their exercise routine for their tour. Tyler:

Actually we don’t hit our stride until the third week but the third week on tour, I’m 15 again. Now, I’m 12.

Perry:

No matter what you do beforehand, there’s nothing like going onstage. You always feel like you’ve been run over by a truck the next day, no matter what. I’ve tried it both ways: I’ll get in shape on tour or I’ll work out for a month [before]. I’ll tell you, it’s very athletic.

o-BEYONCE-570Beyonce is featured on the cover of Out magazine. During the interview Knowles is questioned on her latest album, tour and career goals.

While I am definitely conscious of all the different types of people who listen to my music, I really set out to make the most personal, honest, and best album I could make. I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be, and just speak from the heart. Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalize that struggle.

Wrestling101.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Vicious discusses his debut in WWE:

It doesn’t get any better than that, I truly enjoyed my runs with WCW but with the WWF you really got a chance to be put in a position to see what you could really do as individual as far as selling tickets and merchandise. When you were in the WWF, it was like being at the top of the food chain, you were made to feel like a rockstar, the colours were so bright there, everything was so different.

Rob Lowe interview

She was the it girl and I knew she was cute and single. I was cute and single so went back stage and met her and we had a like a nice talk and were trying to get together and couldn’t cause of our schedules. We had one in New York at this night club and I thought this is it this is the night. I am the boy toy, I am the boy toy and it was not meant to be.

WWE.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Carlito talks to WWE.com about life after WWE and his father’s legendary career.

I know a lot of people in the States won’t be too familiar with him. They should know that thanks to him and his promotion, the stars of today and yesterday had a place to go work and groom themselves by learning a different style. They were able to mature because it was consistent — one or two matches every week. I think that’s his biggest contribution.

Harper’s Bazaar interview

Interview0 Comments

Johansson gives an interview to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine about her role in the film Under The Skin. 

I think the film that we made is so different from the book that it probably wouldn’t have made any difference at all if I had read it. And I didn’t want to have any kind of impression of that at all because I had to work from the script. Over a few years that Jonathan Glazer and I were having these conversations and the core of the story became stronger and the purpose was clearer in his mind and the idea of the two of us collaborating became more of a reality. I really wanted to work with Jonathan Glazer and I would give that kind of commitment anyway if I really wanted to work with somebody. When I know I want to do something and I want it, I’ll get it or I’ll at least try. But I think part of that comes from having spent 20 years in the industry and still being that kid that wants the part. To me, I always feel like that if it doesn’t work out and I don’t get the part it’s because the director and I had different ideas and that makes sense to me. Under The Skin was always open and I didn’t have to convince Jonathan.
