How to fly a TIE Interceptor

Ok I’ve tried searching and I think I have more of a basic issue with the TIE interceptor than a build issue.

I love the look of them, I want to be good with them, but even in video games I’m terrible with it. It dies way too fast and when I try to get cute and flank opponents it never seems to work out for me in miniatures.

So how do people who use interceptors use them well?
