I've been interviewed for papers a few times over the years for various endeavors and have always been misquoted. The most recent was just over a year ago and I didn't even want to share the story on social media cuz everything I said was used out of context and the article was completely misleading. Strangely enough, the same person who ran that piece JUST called me a few minutes ago to do a follow up. We'll see how that turns out.
