Art of Interview: “An interview is a story looking for bookends.” Interviewer interviewee? There's no two sides, it's multi-dimensional. You may think you are one or the other. Your approach and my approach are like arrows, loaded with intentionalities, aimed at heartening opinions, that are invaluable expressions to all those seeking creative insightful ideas.

Art has an opinion. It's perpetual and everlasting in the mind of its creator, and its viewers. We are all interviewers, in everything we see and do. As we look, we form opinions and all too often we are more than happy to express them, even if they are built on shallow thinking. Good opinions are happily embraced. Bad opinions? Well you know!
.
Interviews for two or more. Every time we converse, one on one or in a crowd we are interviewing, and being interviewed. The first date or the first liaison between two people, is all about being interviewed. You cannot escape interviewing, it's most pervasive on social media. You emoji like crazy, sharing an opinion. You comment which invariably solicits a response. Chatting leads to questions and answers which equals an interview.

I interview myself every day, as I know we all do. Questions about everything move in and out, and sometimes they emerge from the deepest recesses of the mind. The interview takes place in our daily and nightly thinking. You may not think you are interviewing yourself, but it's always a two way conversation, seeking information and the validation of the answers that roll out as opinions, which are usually based on experiences both favorable and unfavorable in the lives we all lead.
