What are your general comments?

My first interview was with a student who only asked me 3 questions and then there was an awkward pause when I was waiting for her to ask me another question. When none came and I realized only 5 minutes of the 30 minute interview had passed, I started asking her questions about the school and continued like this for the next 25 minutes. The interview with the member of the admissions committee was more typical. He asked me about certain grades on my transcript, asked me about research, and then we just talked for the whole time and even went over 15 minutes.
