Och ja, det är allt vad Christiane Amanpour gjort under sin karriär som journalist. Jag såg SVT2:s sändning av mötet mellan Amanpour och Renee Zellwegger och blev lite tagen. Fast mest blev jag nog inspirerad av det hon sa, det var så mycket funderingar hon förde upp till ytan som jag själv känner igen så väl! För den som missade programmet (kanske för att se den, enligt mig, outhärdligt dåliga Melodifestivalen) visas repriser 17 och 21 februari, samt på SVT Play. Fina grejer det där.
