I always find that seemingly trivial information can say the most... I found Kate's reaction to the mundane aspects of real-world situations to be quite interesting, I find such things say more than one's opinion about world peace, etc. According to Ryan's report, she seemed to be quite gracious about making small-talk with fans. I just wonder whether she would have been pleased or irritated if Ryan had asked something like "On your third album, what exactly did you mean by [...lyrics quote...] ?" or "Do you agree that the [such-and-such] screen on the Fairlight is more difficult to use than it need be?" ... has anyone heard about such questions being posed outside of a formal interview context?
