This is the questionnaire that James Lipton asks at the end of “Inside The Actor’s Studio,” and he got it from the French talk show “Apostrophes” hosted by Bernard Pivot.
1) What is your favorite word?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It’s a weird word to have as a favorite, considering it’s a disease found in coal miners who have inhaled too much coal dust, but it’s the second longest word in the English language, next to the name of a chemical that is over a thousand letters long.
2) What is your least favorite word?
“Favorite.” I don’t like being forced to pick one thing over the others like it. I prefer to enjoy everything equally on its own merits. In my opinion, the words “what’s your favorite” are used far too often to start conversations, like we can’t start them any other way nowadays.
3) What turns you on?
Women with red hair and creamy white skin.
4) What turns you off?
Smoking, drug addiction, prostitution, but most of all, narcissism. There are too many people that need attention in this world, and there are also too many people in this world who are far too self-absorbed to notice.
5) What sound or noise do you love?
In the Nintendo video game series “The Legend of Zelda,” there’s a two-second bit of music that is always played when you discover something hidden, or successfully complete a puzzle. I’m addicted to hearing that sound.
6) What sound or noise do you hate?
The whiny noise people make when they complain. And power tools just as I'm waking up.
7) What is your favorite curse word? (Edit yourself! Don’t get your blog deleted!)
“Smeg,” from the BBC science fiction TV series “Red Dwarf.”
8) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Writer for a television series or movie.
9) What profession would you NOT like to attempt?
Toss-up between advertising and politics.
10) If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say to you when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“Well done, my son. Well done. Your father's waiting to see you.”
