Anyone who is familiar with Inside the Actor's Studio hosted by James Lipton knows that he asks his guests the same 10 questions at the end of every show. I thought I'd take a crack at them.
1. What is your favorite word?
Gumbo
2. What is your least favorite word?
Dollop. Why is a spoonful of sour cream a dollop? This upsets me.
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
People that go the extra mile to get a laugh. Off-beat comedic timing.
4. What turns you off?
People that take themselves too seriously. It's good to be organized and in control of your life but there is a flip side to that. Ferris Bueller said it best (if you don't know the quote I'm talking about, you just turned me off)
5. What is your favorite curse word?
Horseshit.
6. What sound or noise do you love?
Booming thunder. Especially when it's been muggy all day and a storm is imminent. It's a powerful sound. Madison Square Garden chants/celebrations are crucial sounds as well.
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
The sound of people eating. Chewing, slurping, forks on a plate.... That is the worst. The sound of a double up to lose a game of pong is a close second.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Bass player in an all-black funk band.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Barber. There is a lot riding on each and every haircut. Every use of a scissor or buzzer has to have 100% commitment behind it. Also, there is the conversation factor. Do you chat it up and overwhelm the customer or do you say nothing, concentrate, and come off as impolite?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Do you prefer Bob or Robert?"
I'd like you to revise the answer to this question..........
