I loved watching James Lipton interviews on this obscure show, Inside the Actors Studio. If you haven't seen the Robins Williams episode, it's worth looking up on YouTube. One of the consistent bits on the show was to end with the following questions where guests gave one word answers: What is your favorite word? What is your least favorite word? What turns you on? What turns you off? What sound or noise do you love? What sound or noise do you hate? What is your favorite curse word? What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? What profession would you not like to do? If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? How would you answer those questions?
