'I'm terrible at interviews' I announce shortly after arriving at Rachel Freire's East London studio. A bit of a melodramatic introduction, seek maybe; but as I now sit staring at my notes which resemble the scribbles of a toddler I now know why I said it.
My trouble is that I just like to listen to people. I get lost in conversation and forget to write anything down. I refuse to record interviews because I hate the sound of my own voice and I find it a bit of a distraction, sick so my erratic notes are all I have to record our meeting. Sometimes, if I meet up with somebody and they don't say much, I can manage it; when I meet people like Rachel Freire - gorgeous, mesmerising, opinionated, articulate - I'm left with nothing.
