Inside the Actor’s Studio
One of my favourite shows on TV these days is Bravo’s Inside the Actor’s Studio. The host, James Lipton, is always good for a laugh. To say James Lipton exaggerates is to say that Tom Cruise is just a little weird. No, James Lipton lives in a cloud city known as hyperbole. Still, it’s interesting to watch him gush over his guests, which range in quality and hierarchy from Stephen Spielberg down to “the greatest performer ever to have graced this Earth...Charles Nelson Reilly.”
So James asks ten famous questions, taken from Bernard Pivot’s series, “Bouillon de Culture,” and since I’m going to be a famous director/screenwriter someday, I thought I should practice what my answers are going to be. So here they are, in order:
01. What is your favorite word?
– Irony, because it’s so difficult to understand, yet it enhances everything it touches, creatively speaking.
02. What is your least favorite word?
- Literally, because that word has been completely bastardized. Actually, I’d like to take literally, patch it up and send it back into the world where it belongs. Figuratively speaking, of course.
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
04. What turns you off?
-Selfishness mixed with ignorance.
05. What is your favorite curse word?
-Scrumtrellescent.
06. What sound or noise do you love?
-The sound of piano.
07. What sound or noise do you hate?
-The sound of Scott Stapp’s voice.
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
-A writer.
09. What profession would you not like to do?
-Christian rock star.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
-Well, done good and faithful servant. That or, for shizzle my nizzle. That’d be awesome!
Now faithful reader(s), it’s your turn to take the James Lipton questionnaire. Send me your ten answers today!

Zok,
Great answer for #10. All of them, really.
As for your protest, all I said was that it was myke's choice for top-ten singers. You were taking me to task about my choices, but instead of doing that, I'd say to just list your choices. Beyatch. (I'm just kidding- there's nothing but love. Oh, and that's how Bjork makes me feel, too!)
1. Favorite word: bitchslap
2. Least favorite word: it's slang for a part of a woman's anatomy that rhymes with "punt."
3. Turn ons: Creating original music and/or playing it live with friends, listening to great music, lively discussions about politics, society, religion, and philosophy.
4. Turn offs: Roundhouse kicks to the face.
5. Favorite curse word: Ditto Dara.
6. Sound I love: The sound of Alec Baldwin imitating Charles Nelson Riley.
7. Sound I hate: The sound of my children crying in pain.
8. What other profession would I like to do: Musician, songwriter, producer.
9. What other profession would I not like to do: Ditto Zok.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates: Ditto Myke, except for the Snoop Dogg references.
Larry-Your fave word is "@#$%"...interesting!
Myke-Don't you think it's funny that Larry wrote Ditto Myke? That could've been your last name. Freaky.
Zok-Did you coin the phrase "asshat"? I love that word!
I don't think I've ever coined anything... but I'll be damned if I don't take credit for it anyway!
I feel like I'm part of some cool club by posting on here. Let's make a sandwich!
Zok
