10 questions

We recently watched "Inside the Actor's Studio" and it cracks me up how ridiculous and important actors consider themselves. The only redeeming and entertaining portion, to me, is the ten questions by Bernard Pivot that host James Lipton asks every guest:
  1. What is your favorite word?
  2. What is your least favorite word?
  3. What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
  4. What turns you off?
  5. What sound or noise do you love?
  6. What sound or noise do you hate?
  7. What is your favorite curse word?
  8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
  9. What profession would you not like to do?
  10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Since this is my blog, and I get to be just as arrogant as actors here, I'll take my shot.

  1. What is your favorite word? "lickety-split"
  2. What is your least favorite word? "literally"
  3. What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]? rain: the smell, sound and feel of it
  4. What turns you off? traffic...well, crowds of most kind
  5. What sound or noise do you love? the sound my son makes when happy
  6. What sound or noise do you hate? a loved one in pain (people make the best and worst sounds, really)
  7. What is your favorite curse word? all of them, I like to switch my favorites regularly
  8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? small business owner
  9. What profession would you not like to do? most physician careers, with the possible exception of orthopedic surgeon
  10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "Just how I like 'em--a guy with no regrets."
