Personally I find it very useful.
I don’t necessarily just ask helpful questions. I write around like it’s published in a magazine.
For example, I write how I woke up and had to get up early for this interview because this character has a very tight schedule and starts the day very early. Then when I get home I describe the neighborhood, how maybe there was no nearby parking spot because they live in a very busy neighborhood. I am amazed at the small size of his house, I describe the cat sitting outside on the porch, he rings the bell that causes a very loud melody. I describe how the character greets me, how they interact with their home, how they react to certain questions, etc.
It really helps me set up a character that I only know vaguely. I don’t really think about it, usually when I just know they are the ‘cool’ type of character, the rest will only come as I write the interview. And of course, many things might not be useful. It doesn’t really matter to the story if they have a sugar bomb for breakfast or a healthy salad if it doesn’t really affect the story and move everything forward, but it really helps reduce the ‘vibe’ of the characters.
