that's steve jobs and leonardo da vinci. so i look for people have creative minds and whose creativity comes from the type of things you and i can appreciate. in other words, it's not just unfathomable like isaac newton. it's like leonardo da vinci who, as with steve jobs as with ben franklin, drop out after school, a bit rebellious to become very observant, very curious, very much in love with connecting beauty with technology. most of the type of people i get most passionate about. >> hasn't been someone that you wanted to write about but you haven't taken on yet? >> yes. i started to write about louis armstrong spirit you are in new orleans. i love new orleans and i thought you'd be away to show how different mix of ethnic groups of people coming back in the spanish-american war or spiritual songs can , go from td plantations or -- all melded together around 1900-1950, to be a birthplace of jazz. and i think i learned almost everything you could learn about louis armstrong except for who he was. i couldn't quite get behin

between the arts and the sciences, because whether it was benjamin franklin or steve jobs or leonardo da vinci, i think that's what gives creativity. steve jo, whenever he did a product launch which shows street signs, showing that intersection of the arts and sciences. that's what leonardo da vinci's vitruviaman's all about. and when einstein was looking for the theories of relativity, he pulled out his violin to pl mozart. franklinurse benjam flying a kite in the rain, those electricity experiments helped him understand the notion of checks, balances, pluses, minuses that we see in ourco titution. when i was working on leonardo da vinci, the biggest insights i had was going page by page through the 7,200 pages of notebooks that he had left behind and i realized since i couldn't get steve job's notes in the 1990s, because they were all on some computer where the operating system no longerwo worked, hoerful of a technology for the storage of information paper is. its batternever runs down. its operating system never goes out of style and 500ears later, we just sit there and marvel at leonardo'
