b'Vanessa Grigoriadis, contributing editor at New York\\xa0and\\xa0Vanity Fair.\\n\\nOn the art of the celebrity interview: "People are smart. Particularly these people. They\'re sitting there thinking, "When is she going to drop that question?" They know what you\'re doing. So the way I think about it is: let\'s have an actual, genuine, human, interesting conversation. ... [Journalists] have all sorts of schemes of what they think works for them. My scheme is no scheme."\\n\\nShow notes:\\n@thevanessag\\nvanessagrigoriadis.com\\nGrigoriadis on Longform\\n[4:00] "Why Is Nancy Pelosi Always Smiling?"
