If I could interview anyone it would be Judas - one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. The reason I wouldn't interview Jesus is because his life story has been told, and honestly I think it would be interesting to interview a disciple. Not just any disciple though. I want the one who is arguably the most vilified man in history. The one who delivered his friend into the clutches of the Roman army, and eventually to his death. The man who is so hated that in some countries it is against the law to even name your dog Judas.
I would ask him simple questions like, what life was like then? What was Jesus like? Did the other disciples get along? What was life like for you as a disciple? What did your parents do for work?
Then I would ask him harder questions. Did you really betray Jesus, or was it something that you were told you had to do? Like they describe in the National Geographic documentary "The Gospel of Judas." Did Jesus always act as the son of God, or did he ever come off more human? If the story in the Bible is true what is Hell like really? If you had to do it over would you still betray Jesus?
I think that this would be much more interesting. Its just to bad he has been dead for over two thousand years.
