She recalled her absurd attempt to construct an example-an image that, because it was constructed of things it simply did not fit, reversed the idea into an idea silly by itself, ridiculous in application-a ridiculousness that could easily, she saw, have strayed into the pernicious, the odious, or the destructive, depending on how widely one had insisted on applying it.

Often, as an interviewer, particularly when you're talking to highly visible people, celebrities, and it's known that negative things have happened, they don't want to talk about it, or you have to really work up to it.
