      My father was a journalist and he taught me from the time I could hold a mike, that the mark of a good interviewer is how little they have to say to coax the most out of the interviewee. I think of that in my job as a therapist. So many interviewers forget that it’s not about them (lol, therapists, too).

    In order to achieve their famously unwavering politeness, Canada had to distill all of their snark and sarcasm into one man, and that man was Ryan Reynolds.

He seems more approachable, I guess is how I see him now? I mean it feels like as successful as he is, he's still humble. I like that.
