Ten questions
This summer, I am going to be part of this training about teaching writing and the people in the various groups have to figure out a way to introduce themselves to everyone. My friend Tammy used the ten questions from the Bernard Pivot interview (also known as the questions superfreak James Lipton asks in Inside the Actors Studio). These are my answers:
1. What is your favorite word? succulent
2. What is your least favorite word? vagina
3. What turns you on or what is your favorite thing? If we are talking “turn ons”, then I would say an athletically built guy with a hairy chest, hairy legs, and a goatee; if we are talking favorite things then I would say silicone cooking implements of any fashion (Note: these would not ever be used in conjunction with each other)
4. What turns you off? Assholes, by which I mean jerks
5. What sound or noise do you love? Mmmmmmm
6. What sound or noise do you hate? My father’s incessant belching
7. What is your favorite curse word? God fucking dammit
8. What other professions would you like to attempt? astronaut
9. What profession would you not like to do? The guy who cleans up elephant shit at the circus
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive? So, how surprised are you!
