Once we get them in the studio, you interview a person the same way you would interview another. You ask them a question. You let them answer. You try to listen closely and then ask a follow-up.

I don't know what a softball question is. All I know is I have no agenda. I ask short questions, and I listen to the answer.

It's getting the right person that's the challenge.

The way to write a thriller is to ask a question at the beginning, and answer it at the end.

I think, a lot of times, players get in trouble when they're asked questions and they think they have to find a way to answer it. If you ask me a question and I say, 'I don't know,' there's really no follow-up.
