Because the purpose of an interview should be to best simulate a situation that will give evaluators the most accurate view of how a candidate really behaves, it seems to me that getting them out of the office and doing something slightly more natural and unconventional would be a better idea. Heck, even taking a walk or going shopping is better than sitting behind a desk. The key is to do something that provides evaluators with a real sense of whether the person is going to thrive in the culture of the organization and whether other people are going to enjoy working with him or her.

…I don't think it's good to be honest in interviews, I think it's better to lie.

I wouldn't be doing this interview if I didn't like you.

I think interviews can be fine, it's just there's this terrible fear of coming off wrongly or saying something that gets taken out of context. Because this could make up people's opinions of you.

I want to be trusted, and will not bargain with my subjects.

In most cases, the best strategy for a job interview is to be fairly honest, because the worst thing that can happen is that you won't get the job and will spend the rest of your life foraging for food in the wilderness and seeking shelter underneath a tree or the awning of a bowling alley that has gone out of business.

A person can't make a career out of somebody else's invective.

Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.

Earn it yourself so that nobody will say they gave you anything

No one owes you a job, least of all the person across the table interviewing you!

[Asked if being interviewed is a form of torture for her] No, people always think I hate doing interviews. I don't. I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them. I have to say that at the start of every interview.

don’t want anyone to make money catching me out being me. I want to give them all of me.

Are you getting bored doing interviews? That's work. It's the most responsible, representative and solemn work there is — like sport. Anyone who does not aim for the Olympic Games or championships should not be in the sports industry.

I don't like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what's even worse, of being quoted exactly.
