Mr. Shankman also has a book where that interview comes from called The Experience of Samadhi. He interviews quite a few well-known Buddhists about jhana and what they say is illuminating.

Just keep meditating and the answers will come. :) That's all I have to say about this subject, and that's my answer to OP's questions.
