“We have to rethink, re-inspire. Wash the brain, not brainwash.”

Laura Linney The actress says, “After taking a part, I read the script and ask ‘Why?’ I ask ‘Why?’ until there’s no more “Why‘ to ask. I read a script and it’ll say, ‘INTERIOR: Chicago Tenement.’ I stop and ask, ‘Why is it a tenement’ ‘Why is it Chicago?’”

Muhammed Ali

The former champ was known for his smarts and creativity inside and outside the ring.

“I’m not just a boxer, I do a lot of reading, a lot of studying, I ask a lot of questions, I watch how people live. I was always curious. I always wondered, ‘Why?’”
