Brian Grazer, the successful movie producer, discusses his relationship with curiosity. As a boy, he was encouraged by his grandmother to ask questions and being curious is a hallmark of his personality and a key to his success. Throughout his life he has made a point to talk to a variety of people through chance meetings or arranged ones. He tells of spending a year or more trying to arrange some meetings where he is asking for nothing more than a conversation with the person. He emphasizes that he wants to talk about THEM, not himself. He doesn't want advice, a job or a favor, just the chance to ask about things that are interesting to him. An interesting book although a little too often about his hair.
