Yes, indeed!  I am presently trying to cope with the frustration I
experience when discussing the 'Foucault' presented by those who have never
opened a single of F's books.  In regard to interviews as a source of
clarification, don't forget:

**  Language, Counter-memory, Practice  (1977, ed. Donald Bouchard and Simon
Sherry)
**  Remarks on Marx (1977/1991, Interviews with Duccio Trombadori)
**  Power/Knowledge (1980, ed. Colin Gordon)

I believe there is also another collection called 'Foucault Live'
