believe people
I really believe people should be paid for the work that they do.
thinking car choices
Sometimes when I'm on the internet, I'll get this, like, which of these ad experiences would you prefer? And I'll have a choice of, like, a car, a pharmaceutical item or, you know, clothing. And I'm thinking, like, I don't want any of these. Do I have to choose?
found
What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being found out.
thinking league people
I've never seen radio as the minor leagues, where I'm just really preparing to be in the show that really counts, namely, television, which is, I think, what people often assume. I've never felt that way.
thinking voice personality
I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound.
edited versions
I love the edited version of it.
song favorites-things my-favorite
I love songs. Songs are my favorite things.
want helping politician
I don't want to help a politician revise the truth.
google
Google started as a free search engine. It's still free, but now it's making a lot of money on ads, right? A lot of money.
misunderstood asking lines
Anyone who agrees to be interviewed must decide where to draw the line between what is public and what is private. But the line can shift, depending on who is asking the questions. What puts someone on guard isn't necessarily the fear of being 'found out.' It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.
respect-someone want privacy
I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.
misunderstood sometimes being-misunderstood
It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.
people helping
There should be a revenue stream that helps pay for the publication or for the work and helps pay the people who do it.
meaningful pay-the-price people
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
