thanks for posting this...I found the interviewer 
condescending..using words such as "obsessed" and "driven" and 
her "mission".....how do these (expletive deleted) idiots think
that great literature (or great tasks) get written (or done)? By
those who just want to take it easy? Be blase? Not too "intense" 
about anything. Bah!
