I definitely enjoy interviews but I think this is largely dependent on the interviewer and his/her questions.

I often get the impression that journalists/interviewers read interviews that the band has recently done and just regurgitate the same series of questions because it makes their job easier because the goal is, seemingly, to just get a quote, not seek out quality answers.

Generic questions lead to generic answers and it's not hard to imagine the apathy that bands feel when doing interviews.
