Alexander Gorkow: His best interviews from the legendary series in SZ Wochenende. Anyone who reads even one of them will immediately notice: These interviews are different from others - more intense, funnier, more intimate, surprising, and open. His selection is completely subjective, but Alexander Gorkow dares to take risks. While others come armed with filled notebooks, the head of SZ Wochenende memorizes the biographies of his interview partners and then approaches with a backup note containing at most five questions - just in case of awkward pauses. His credo is: "If I keep looking at my questions instead of into the eyes of my conversation partners, no real conversation will happen." The course of his interviews proves him right: Either everything flamboyantly goes wrong (as with Lou Reed), or world stars like Jeanne Moreau, Sylvester Stallone, or Eric Clapton speak as openly as rarely.
