Cumberbatch

the questions is to
stimulate debate.”

9. Kanye West

boundaries in music ,

inspire. Wash the brain,
not brainwash.”

11. 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?’”

13. Muhammed
Ali
The former champ was
known for his smarts
and creativity inside

questions, I watch how
people live. I was always
curious. I always
wondered, ‘Why?’”

lem of the lack of safe

own sources of water?”

Louis C.K. specializes in
observational humor,
and one of his most
famous bits concerns
the endless questions of
4-year-olds:
“A kid never says, ‘Okay
I get it.’ The questions
just keep coming. Why?
Why? Why? Til you don’t
even know who the #*@!
you are any more.”

19. Key & Peele
Answering a simple
question can lead to big
things.
When the comedy duo
Key & Peele were
starting out, Jordan
Peele says, “We
recognized that we
would be compared to
‘Chapelle’s Show’ a lot.

“What can we do that no
one else can do?”

Sherman

about inheriting his
curiosity and problem-
solving skills from his
father Kevin, who
supplemented his job

dept by taking on odd jobs
around the neighborhood.

Richard was underneath
it with him, learning.

23. Claire Danes
Danes says, “Growing up
in New York City, I was
always encouraged to
question authority… If I
hadn’t been an actress, I
was thinking seriously
about going into
psychology. It’s just
really what I’m
interested in: The human
psyche and how we
process information.”

25. Beyoncé
The entertainment
superstar loves to
challenge music biz
conventions. Her latest

just to stay alive. How
come?”
