    Some people say they're difficult to interview because they're quiet but it's down to the interviewer to get them talking and this is one of those interviews with a good interviewer who manages to have an interesting conversation with them. Their quietness draws you to them and when you get used to how they talk you realise how intelligent, charming and funny they are.
