I had all my questions written out, about a page worth, and I got worried about five minutes into it that I didn't have enough questions, but Jet gave long answers. I've been studying interviewing techniques - Barbara Walters wrote some good stuff on it and I really like Terry Gross's style, but there's such an art of conversation to getting something out of a celebrity, and I'm not such a talented conversationalist. As it was, I sort of flubbed my last question, but oh well. You know you asked a stupid question when the interviewee answers with "as I said before..." Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun. You'll see the results in a month or so.
