Of the over 600 people I've interviewed since 1996, Patrick was, by far, the nicest. A real person. No pretense. No diva, movie star nonsense. Just another guy that I was having a chat with. In a time when we see ex-Nazis (and other despots) living to the century mark, the untimely passing of someone like Patrick Swayze is made all that much more palpable. Our interview is recreated here and, I hope, captures the spirit of our meeting.

The prospect of chatting with the iconic Lauren Bacall had this effect on me. It was 2007 and Bacall had just finished work on Paul Schrader’s “The Walker,” opposite Woody Harrelson. Our chat on the phone became one of the great conversations, and personal connections, of my life. Most journalists avoid “phoners” whenever possible, as a conversation via Alexander Graham Bell (or Verizon) is rarely as intimate or revealing as a one-on-one...2019-08-2500 min
The Hollywood InterviewThe Hollywood Interview Sidney LumetSidney Lumet was the first director I interviewed whose one-sheet posters hung on my wall as a kid. He was an idol, an icon, and an inspiration. I wasn't yet 30 in April 1997, when I met him at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills for our interview at the press junket for "Night Falls On Manhattan," one of his solid, authentic urban dramas that blended crime, politics and personal revelations that became his signature. Lumet's body of work is one that will carry on for the ages, and remains one of the cinema's most diverse. It is unlikely, given...2019-07-2600 min
