Andy Warhol, Advertisement, 1990

Interesting seeing this near to Twombly. Similar space within the composition, established through fragments of words and motifs set in a lyrical rhythm.

13 Ways To Totally Own That Interview

Make the location somewhere relevant to the story or subject.

Know what you’ll ask and why.

Write down what you’ll ask. (And take more than you expect to ask.)

Maintain a natural and conversational flow. Think about segues and transitions.

Remember the medium in which the interview will be published. Different techniques for different media!

Bring a buddy? (This seems a touch awkward.)

Avoid obsessing; trust yourself and focus on what you know you’ll use.

Be a little annoying and persist with a question (must remember this).

Be a little sneaky? “If they don’t say ‘off the record’, it’s all game. (I’m not cool with this.)

Empower your subject (but, ffs, don’t be a sucker).

Work them up into an emotional state! 

Endure awkward silences.

Ask for what you need. (I’m so bad at this.)

(If all else fails: laugh at this one.)
