This is somewhat against resistance and caginess on the part of the interviewee.

All of us are public and private beings, and if all you're going to get from the interviewee is their public self, there's no point in it.

And the audience just you know, they're always on the side of the interviewee, and they felt that this was a kind of assault, but this was the question she had wanted somebody to ask her whole life.
