Interview is not my favorite thing in the world. I only find it interesting when the subject is worth interest. Like an artist who is original, not following sunny well known path. I don't have anything about more pop artists. I just feel they don't always bring profound thought about their arts. It is rare that they talk about deeper experience. The interviewers may also be to blame for those lightweight interview. They don't always have the time to delve into heavier stuff.
When I find a real deal good interview, I jump at it. There are some artists that more prone to give a good and challenging interviews. It makes me feel that artists can goes in less traveled path. For example there are two good interview of Diamanda Galas that I found:

The second one comes in two parts. It is mainly on one of her album:

I prefer to go deeper into the soul, not just skip at the surface of the mind. It is not being nose up. It is more like being in a swamp and find a gemstone in the mud. Not everybody have to go along the same road. Divergence is not to be banished. In an ideal world, each person would be able to go his/her own way, without being judged.
It is just sad that in our world, there is still coercion in this world. Of course, there are deviance that are not acceptable even now. Abuse in any way is not something I accept. Of the other hand, I wish people would accept how certain people are: different. For example: no to killing people, yes to people who express themselves with clothing.
Now, I think I have my fill for interesting interview for a while.
