Noah Wyle Quotes

In 2014, I knew my English was not so bad, but I had no confidence in talking directly to an English-speaking reporter. I had to do a short interview with, I think, Reuters from France.

My greatest career mistake is giving interviews.

I always seem to have a good time when I'm interviewed. I really enjoy the whole process of meeting another person and having that exchange, but you know, if I'd read all my press collectively, I know I'd just say, 'Well, I don't think I'll ever be interviewed again, thanks very much!'

I remember an interview so terrible with CNN's Jon Klein, I nearly blurted out, 'Forget it, I am a loser!' But I didn't need to say it. My face and posture did.

I remember thinking that I'd never show my arms on TV, but over time you loosen up.

I've done a couple of interviews, and I realized how uncomfortable I felt as soon as I started talking.
