ten questions

One of the things I most enjoyed about watching Inside the Actor's Studio was the 1o questions asked at the end of each interview. The same questions are asked of each actor and the answers range from the serious to the sublime.

The questionnaire was originally developed by a French broadcaster Bernard Pivot. I always wanted to use this questionnaire when interviewing people for jobs but unfortunately it's never been allowed or is was never really appropriate.

The questionnaire follows with my answers. The answers are supposed to be gut reaction, spur of the moment answers so I've tried my best to do that in answering the questions:

1. What is your favorite word?
Petulant

2. What is your least favorite word?
Utilize

3. What turns you on?
Confidence

4. What turns you off?
Ignorance

5. What sound or noise do you love?
The call of a loon echoing over a lake

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
The sound a car makes when it crashes

7. What is your favorite curse word?
F*ck

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Lounge Singer

9. What profession would you not like to do?
Doctor

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"It was Adam and Steve, Eve was a typo!"
