Questions worth asking:
- How do you get someone to "open up" without misleading them regarding the nature of your story (or even your own identification)?
- How do you fairly deal with someone whose views are anathema to you?
- How do you broach sensitive topics?

get thee to a library or bookstore or amazon and get this book:
Lindlof and Taylor. Qualitative Communication Research Methods. 2nd ed. 2002.
No, that's not a technical citation.
But all of chapter 6 in this book is on interviewing.
There are very clear guidelines to follow concerning the protection of your participants. Contact a local university for information on protecting your participants and what you need to do to protect yourself legally.
