"I listen to people very carefully. The secret is: let the guy talk. You never know where they're going and it gets really interesting when you let them run on. Every once in a while, they say something that makes me want to stop them -- 'Wait, tell me more about that!' -- But I resist the impulse, because I might lose the jewels that are about to fall from their lips. Instead, I make a mental note to go back to the topic later."

— William Langewiesche
