Interviews are like wooing a woman.

You want to tell her that you are impressive,

Find the line for braggadocious, and then back it up about two. You cannot just say, "I am AWESOME!" She is going to walk off.

You do not get to say that. But, if you say, "I enjoy bicycling. I am very athletic, and I have written three books on subjects that include these things," that changes the scenario :)
