Inside the Actor's Studio

RULES: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to answer the ten (10) questions. At the end, choose twenty-five (25) people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your answers to the ten (10) questions, tag people (in the right hand corner) then click "publish."

These ten (10) questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. They're better known as the questions that James Lipton asks every guest at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio."


1. What is your favorite word?
i like French words like "pamplemousse" and "parapluie".
As for English, nothing comes to mind at the moment.


2. What is your least favorite word?
Words (Homographs) like "read" or "record", which have two pronounciations and meanings with the same spelling, so you don't know which way to pronounce the word until after you've read (ahem) the sentence. 

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Conversation or media that explores issues that have amibiguous or strong arguments for both sides; no obvious moral position. For example, the conundrum that presents itself to the lead character, Victor, in the novel Choke.

4. What turns you off?
Bigotry, racism, elitism. 

5. What is your favorite curse word?
Following Terri's PG rated suggestion, i offer "Jerkface Malone", or Tony's classic, "dickspank". i don't curse very often, but when i do i like to use any of George Carlin's words you can't say on television.

6. What sound or noise do you love?
Winner! Gagnant! - - Terri's suggestion can stay in my own responses, but i truly love the uncontrollable laughter of children. You know, the kind that comes at the moment in which the fun and silliness has reached such a height that you know a meltdown (when one child is present) or a mishap/injury (when two or more children are present) is inevitable. 

7. What sound or noise do you hate (dislike)?
Alarm clock radio going off; distant thud followed by silence when a child falls down within ear shot. Another noise i can't stand, if one can really call it a noise at all, is the feeling of cotton balls in my fingertips. i'm just shivering thinking about it. If i were a superhero, that would be my kryptonite.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Talk show host.

9. What profession would you not like to do?
Tax advisor, lawyer, accountant

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
So, what would you like to come back as?

Detroit River

A dividing line between nations
Ambassador Bridge watches over us
Sculptures in the park
All along the boardwalk

Cyclists slide by
Bladers blaze trails
Puppy Prince panting
Tied fast to the rails

A sunset glows like a furnace fire
Warming my face like crimson coal
How does one river between us
Produce such different souls?
