You should have both some prepared questions, some generic ones and also some specific for given person, but also be able to improvise during the interview and ask additional questions based on the answers, to get more information that may be interesting to the audience, it's also important to not put the interviewed person in a position, where he doesn't really know what to answer.
For example, I was interviewed in one magazine and they did a small research about my projects, as their questions showed, however they did rather static interview, where they simply sent me a list of questions and one of them was a bit awkward, plus some answers could be expanded with additional questions, so it wasn't that ideal.
Good interviews are not that simple, I recommend looking something up, for example try Googling "writing a good interview" and you get a lot of useful resources that can help you increase the quality. If you need any other help with writing in general, you can ask me if you want, I'm writing professionally (meaning, being an external editor for a serious publishing company and getting paid for it) since age 16 (so for four years), so I guess I might have some experience in this area. :3
Froxy, you should just apply. lmao. You'd make a great addition.
