The
following 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon
de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. They are probably more
familiar as the questions James Lipton asks at the end of the
televisions series "Inside the Actor's Studio."
|

What
is your favorite word? |
|
"Onomatopoeia (for both how it sounds and what it means)."
|
|
| 2 |
What
is your least favorite word? |
|
"Like (also my most used)."
|
|
| 3 |
What
turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? |

"Honest curiosity."
|
|
| 4 |
What

"Pretense."
|
|
| 5 |
What

|
"'Fuck'
is always the one to beat."
|
|
| 6 |
What

"The
sound of lots of people walking across a marble floor in hard
heeled shoes."
|
|
| 7 |
What
sound or noise do you hate? |

|

|
| 9 |
What
profession would you not like to?
|
|
"I
once had a job taking these light bulbs off an assembly line,
coating them in powdered teflon, and putting them back on the
line. I stood at the open end of a 700°F oven, and the average
temperature in which I worked was 125°. That was pretty bad."
