Following Shawn’s lead at Everything and Nothing on self-interviewing, I’ve decided to answer the questions that James Lipton from Bravo’s “Inside the Actors Studio,” borrowed from Bernard Pivot. (C’mon; if you’ve seen the show, you know you always wanted to do this.)
What is your favorite word? jackal
What is your least favorite word? liar
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Rothko’s paintings
What turns you off? dogma
What is your favorite curse word? fuck
What sound or noise do you love? water
What sound or noise do you hate? screaming cats
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? mediation/arbitration
What profession would you not like to do? telephone solicitor
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? “I loved your novels.”
Fun, fun, fun
Great self-interview! Isn’t it fun? Especially since we get to decide if we want to answer those questions in the first place, unlike the celebrities!
Ah, the pleasures of being a nobody! 😉
