This week I was re-introduced to the word Curious. According to the dictionary it can either mean being something strange or unusual or it can mean being eager to learn. I have affinity with both of these definitions.
I am reading the book 'A Curious Mind' by David Grazier (recommended to me by a friend and colleague Sid Madge) who produced films such as Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, Backdraft, Parenthood, The Nutty Professor. I this book he describes how by having curious conversations with people to the point where he plans one every week he has been able to learn about the lives of people who he would never normally come across. By doing this he has been able to build up a wealth of information that helps in storytelling and producing his movies.
I am naturally a nosey person, however Brian has inspired me to be more purposefully curious. Soooo I am going to blog what I am being curious about mostly for my own records but also because I want to share what I have learnt.
