INTERVIEWER: How do you feel about using the tape - TopicsExpress



          

INTERVIEWER: How do you feel about using the tape recorder? GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ: The problem is that the moment you know the interview is being taped, your attitude changes. In my case I immediately take a defensive attitude. As a journalist, I feel that we still haven’t learned how to use a tape recorder to do an interview.... What ticks you off about the tape recording everything is that it is not loyal to the person who is being interviewed, because it even records and remembers when you make an ass of yourself. That’s why when there is a tape recorder, I am conscious that I’m being interviewed; when there isn’t a tape recorder, I talk in an unconscious and completely natural way. INTERVIEWER: Well, you make me feel a little guilty using it, but I think for this kind of an interview we probably need it. GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ: Anyway, the whole purpose of what I just said was to put you on the defensive.
