Danica Patrick Complains About How Much Work Interviews Are, Then Gives Rambling Answers

Open-car racer Danica Patrick was a media wunderkind long before winning her first race at the Indy Japan 300 last month. So it’s not the biggest shock ev-ah to hear that she’s been swamped with interviews lately.

But we had to chuckle upon reading Patrick’s words during an interview with FOX Sports:

It’s been so busy and I think that’s one of the things people don’t realize how much work it is to answer questions and do interviews. I put a lot into it. At the end of the day after a bunch of interviews, I’m really tired emotionally. I always want to give people a good interview. I want to give them honest answers. I’m not trying to beat around the bush about stuff. I put a lot of heart and soul into my interviews.

Two things here. First of all, maybe the reason interviews exhaust Danica so much is because it takes her seven sentences comprised of 84 words to say “I put so much effort into interviews I’m wiped out afterwards.” (One sentence, 11 words, same idea).

Second, we’ll save you the trouble if you’re hoping for questions along the lines of, “Can you describe what it was like to do the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue shoot this year?” or “Would you ever reconsider Playboy’s offer?” This interview is mostly IRL, except for a what-did-they-ruin-it-with-that-for question referencing politics.
