Interviews

I’ve always been fascinated by people – what drives them, what inspires them and the stories that sit behind the person we think we know.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing musicians, actors, writers, broadcasters and some wonderfully interesting characters. Some conversations have been funny, others surprising, moving or wonderfully unpredictable.

For me, a good interview has never been about working through a list of questions. It’s about listening, being curious and allowing the conversation to go somewhere unexpected.

These are some of those conversations.
