One of the challenges of doing so many interviews is that inevitably I am asked different versions of the same questions over and over again. For the first time in a long time I can say I was actually asked unique questions that put a smile on my face. They were short. Simple. To the point. They were perfect for the reporter's audience.
Shockingly I had never been asked any of them before.
