The popular Bravo series, Inside the Actors Studio is a great program for any film lover. Since the show’s premiere in 1994, host James Lipton has interviewed more than 200 guests, including famous actors and actresses, directors, screenwriters, and musicians. While most of the show consists of a one-on-one interview, at the end of each show, Lipton submits a questionnaire to the guest. The questionnaire concept was originated by French television personality Bernard Pivot, similar to the famous Proust Questionnaire.
After watching countless Hollywood stars and legends give their own personal answers, I’ve often wondered how I would respond to Lipton’s queries. So, just for kicks, I put myself “inside the Actors Studio” and pulled together my replies to this proverbial questionnaire:
What is your favorite word? Imagination
What is your least favorite word? Moist
What turns you on? Witty humor and creativity
What turns you off? Arrogance and/or ignorance
What is your favorite curse word? [currently] Horse sh*t
What sound or noise do you love? Laughter
What sound or noise do you hate? Hacking cough
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Film-maker
What profession would you not like to do? Window cleaner (I'm deathly afraid of heights!)
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Welcome home! You did well down there. Heaven is your playground, so enjoy! But first, your family and friends are throwing a party in your honor. Ella will be singing your favorite songs all night long!
