I am off to my class reunion. I may need some _serious_ entertainment when I get home.

So, your task, should you choose to accept it:

Link me to your favorite media interview with a famous person. Doesn't matter if I care about their stuff or have even heard of them. It's the performance of identity I'm interested in at the moment (or, at least, imagine I will be after surviving my 20-year high school reunion).

Merci.

(This message brought to you by: for fuck's sake, once every couple of years you go digging for and almost can't find the same stupid interview. You know what's your friend? Bookmarks and the save button. Oi.)

I'm a big fan of Glenn Gould's self-interviews.

Glenn Gould interviews Glenn Gould about Glenn Gould

Here's a snippet, from minute 2 to the end:

Or you can read the article:

I like this as an interview because he doesn't talk about himself all that much, but his voice is so consistent and classical that you cannot help but get a sense of the person from the interview.

I also love the fake reviews of his own works that he did as alternate personalities, well-known cliches of the classical reviewer type.
