www.iheart.comI've been fortunate enough to interview my share of celebrities. The downside is that our conversations are often limited to four minutes and the topic is their latest project. From time to time the artist shares something about themselves that gives insight to who they are. Mostly it's just about a character, an experience, or a process. It’s rarely personal. That's by design. Some celebrities are like automatons carefully stepping through the minefield of public relations.
