By Observing Tyler Hamilton's behavior we can infer that he wasen't comfortable at all. He seemed very tense, eventhough he was willing to anwser the interview's questions. Lance Armastrong was his friend and teammate for many years, it must of been really hard for him to reveal the truth.

Interviews: Preparing Questions and Listening

Dealing with Sources

1. You avoid one-word answers by asking questions that start with 'why', because that forces the interviewee to think.
2. Linda Ellerbee said what all interviews are asking is, "What is it like to be you?"

Interviews: Preparing Questions 

1. If you stick to a list of questions you are not really listening to the answers. 
2. He begins talking about people who are neophytes and then gives the example of an interviewer who begins with the question "Where where you born?", the interviewee replies that he will declare World War III, but the interviewer keeps asking question from his list instead of paying attention to what the interviewee is saying.   
3. If you are talking more than 10% of the time, you are talking to much, and you'll end up framing the story the way you want to, and talking about yourself rather than the person you are interviewing.

Interviews: Listening 

1. if you just 'shut up' and listen to what the interviewee has to say, they will come up with the deepest things if you let them fill those silences. 
2. He said it is more important to watch thier reactions to the questions, how they are acting.
