How much information can you get out of 60 minutes interview?  

850 MB!!! Yes thats right one hour interview can be recorded in 1 CD with 850MB!!

When a pan full rice is boiled then we can taste one rice and know that the pan full rice is boiled or not. Peoples character and the quality is come out when they speak. So in an hour conversation we can get the person in full. People can't hide anything if they open their mouth. So everything needed can be pull out in an interview of an hour.

Dear Ghieptc,

It really depends on the interviewer..................lol

definitely, only 10 to 20 percent of the person's life is all you can get. if you are trying to interview one of our presidential candidates for this coming elections, it's good if you get 10 percent of their real identity. and most of their talkings are just talking, more than half of them are lies.

A lot, as in a lot. Just be sure you already written all the question you like to ask in one person.

As much as I can, it's just a matter of comprehension and clarity of views. If I am the one being interviewed, I talk as much, I give a lot of examples and facts so the interviewer gets a lot of information from me.

Hello,
I think it totally depends on the person one is interviewing. If the person has anything useful to say at all, then the 60 minute boundary can certainly come short. But there are certain personalities, for whom it is hard to find a set of questions. Even 60 minutes seem to be longer than expected, and of course boring. This is because these persons have such a limited amount of awareness. You know journalists often have to face these kind of people.
But, in general a 60 minutes interview, in my notion is a rather waste of time and energy. It often fails to give anything meaningful and complete. On the contrary, it has every possibility to develop a bias in the interviewers.
Take care
