I want to echo Thomas's sentiment here about asking questions of the interviewer.
It really is of tremendous benefit while interviewing to be the one driving (or at least steering) the interview. Even aside from any psychological power dynamic, it's a really good way to make sure you get to cover the things you want to cover.
If you've ever come out of an interview and said "Oh man, hopefully that went good; but I wish they'd asked me to talk more about area 'X'.", you know it can be nerve-wracking.
Being able to have an actual conversation, where there's interplay between the interviewer and interviewee will do wonders for your anxiety level (which considering how stressful interviewing can be for some people, can be a big deal).
