Let me tell you what I know…

You have to get into their mindset, the way they’re thinking, and have a discussion with them.
. . .
Video tapes are wonderful things. I use a tape recorder.
… they talk, and this is how I do it: I bring the tape recorder in and say, “Look I’m gonna use this recorder because my writing’s terrible and I can’t read it if I write it down…”
And they watch the tape recorder – and if I have a problem with the interview I say, “I wanna talk to you for a second – just, off the record…”
Everyone hear “off the record”? It’s like the unicorn – no such thing.
I pick up the tape recorder and I go “click” and set it right in front of them. And they look at the tape to make sure it’s not turning.
Interview rooms have microphones and video cameras. Everything is being recorded. My tape means nothing because I’m recording it anyways… and then I start talking to them quietly and they start telling me stuff.
. . .
Back to the people – yes, they’re stupid. Yes, they’re stupid… people are inherently stupid.
