Do you interview well?

I don't think I've ever been too good at figuring myself out. As you pursue artistic endeavors it seems important to have a general understanding of what makes you tick, what you care about, and why you choose to do what you do. So, I don't know how I've made it this far.

One thing I have been able to decipher regarding my mental creative process is that I consistently lie to myself as a means of obfuscating my creative process and intent. Oops, my secret is out. This idiosyncrasy causes interviews to be problematic for me. So when the local station came to my studio to conduct an interview I did my best to stay on task. You know for me that's kind of tough, hopefully any avenue I might have wandered down was at least interesting. I guess we'll find out. The photos above show the set-up for the interview.

Below is the list I reviewed minutes before the questions started.
