The rumors about this interview basically said Lou were being the most arrogant prick ever. What an exaggeration - he comes across as not giving a crap (which he probably didn't), but I wouldn't call him rude.

the journalist has said in an interview later that he was told to do a short interview about 2 minutes but then right Before the interview they told him he got 30 minutes
