More amused than fascinated.

I’m fascinated. By what makes people tick. To understand their motivations. I’ve been accused of being too nosey. Too prying. But that’s one of my attributes.  An inquiring mind. Maybe that’s why I became a writer. For newspapers. My aim was to get people to talk. To open up. To tell me secrets. To give me the full story. To hide nothing. I’d make a good investigator. That’s part of the news business. Of course, it’s become more of an entertainment business. Which I find hard to accept. But entertainment, not news, is the big thing these days. Maybe I’m more amused than fascinated by it all.  --Jim Broede
