David Letterman | The GQ Video Cover Interview

“In show business, I find that I have pretended to be someone I’m truly not,” says David Letterman as he sits with GQ’s Zach Baron at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in Indiana, where Letterman grew up. Join David & Zach for an intimate conversation, as they talk the art of interviewing, the cost of showbiz on the soul, the impossibility of retirement, Letterman’s years of late night wars with Jay Leno, his influence and total aversion to nostalgia, his skepticism of fame (“If fame has crushed you personally, I prefer that kind of person than somebody who wears it well”), and much more. _On David: Jacket by Fay (Vintage Fay 4 Ganci / Ghiaia Cashmere Archive).
