Celebrity Interviews

Recently I watched and enjoyed 'Coffee with DD' episode with Radhika Sarathkumar and Sripriya. Both the guests were funny and lively. My friend and I had good time quoting some funny things they said. It got me wondering: we don't have many celebrities who interviews well. Interviews of some actors/actresses are a pain to watch. Its surprising to see an actor can roar pages of punch dialogues, but would take forever to finish a line in interviews. It only proves that they are only capable of reciting lines from paper, but don't have anything original to say!
So I am opening this thread to discuss celebrity interviews, their public speeches. Who do you think are funny, witty, sharp and answers to the point? On the other hand who do you think is lame? You are welcome to quote their lines to make the thread more interesting..

 

Kamal Hassan's interviews are always a pleasure to watch. He is witty, clever in dodging problematic questions and he can be satiric if he wants. Radhika and Nassar are good speakers.
Most of the current actor/actresses interviews fall in 'can't sit through the whole interview' category. I can't watch Vijay's interviews.

 

Thanks for your warm welcome dear Ranch. Missed you all a great deal. Hoping to interact with you all again.

I agree about Ajith Ranchu. I am really interested to see how he does in interviews. I remember him speaking in a public gathering once. He didn't speak first, but someone provoked him so he came to the mike to retort. He said, 'Cinemava Cinemavaa irukka vidunga; Arasiyal aakaadheenga' [Let the Cinema be Cinema; Don't turn into Politics].

 

Hey Sofea is here too... :banana

 

Hi Oysterzzz, I too like Rajini's stage speeches. He can be funny and very very serious at the same time. I liked Nayantara too, though not as good as Radhika, she is better compared to other heroines. I lost touch with tamil interviews and after long time I watched the Coffee with DD episode, and was surprised that nowadays the hosts shoot controversial questions and the guests are bold in their answers. Only after reading your comment it occurred to me that I have never seen Prabu deva speaking in public or in interviews. But I bet he would be having that 'samathu payyan' [goody-goody] image, folding his hands during his interviews. I hate when these heroes act like a shy bride.
Just remembered a few: Kushboo gives good 'counters'; Gangai Amaran is a nuisance. Ex-director cum comedian Manobala boldly questioned Gangai Amaran, who was then a judge in a talent show, and the latter just folded unable to answer. That was funny to watch. I will try to get the link of the video clip.
