“Larry was famously known for never preparing for an interview, because he felt like he wanted to ask the questions that the audience had, having not read the book, not knowing who this person was. And so during a commercial break, I was flipping through my notes. And he looked at me, and he's like, ‘Do you always have that many notes?’ And I was like, ‘Honestly, yeah. Do you think I'm missing the magic?’ And he was like, ‘No, it worked for Barbara Walters, and it works for you. Everybody has to do what's good for them’.” (37:03-37:32 | Danielle)
