From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Moushey, director of the Innocence Institute of Point Park University, and a past Pultizer Prize finalist talked with Blog ‘N’ Gold about his book, and its somewhat enigmatic subject:
BNG: You’ve made a career interviewing criminals, crooks & rogues, so you said weren’t at all intimidated by a tough guy like James Harrison. That said, was he a difficult subject in terms of getting him to open up?
MOUSHEY: It certainly wasn’t easy. I worked on background for two months (between Christmas and the Pro Bowl) after signing the deal with him. When I finally sat down to listen to our first four-hour interview tape, I talked more than he did. I thought it was one of the worst interviews I’ve ever done (and that includes mob bosses who said things like “I ain’t got nothin to say about nothin.” Over time, he loosened up and by the time we finished the job, he would expound on just about any topic I asked him about, including things he did not want to talk about (like his domestic abuse case).
