Half-Pint Opinions


Inside the actor’s studio: a questionnaire.

It’s a good thing for all of you obsessive readers of my blog that I randomly write blog-worthy ideas on random napkins, post-it papers, and notepads. Without these helpful tidbits, I would be without a subject tonight! Because my life is boring right now…or at least I don’t know you all well enough to tell you the really interesting, nitty-gritty stuff. For now, I will resurface something I discovered while on the plane to Shanghai more than a month ago.

As mentioned, they had these great little TV touch-screens for each individual seat which proved to be a lifesaver when on a plane for 15 hours straight. We had many different options on what we could watch from movies to sitcoms to comedy and even documentaries! After I had exhausted all my movie options (and I was not about to watch Atonement for the fifth time), I was amazed to find the latest broadcasting of “Inside the Actors Studio” with Halle Berry. I love these interviews, getting into the minds of other people. It’s not about talking to a famous person; it’s about witnessing a conversation. And who doesn’t love James Lipton?!

^^^ Oh James… You’re so classy.

So James has this list of questions that he asks all the guests that come on his show. He briefly mentioned the source of his questions but it was inaudible and I am afraid I can’t reproduce the name of the questionnaire creator. However! I did record all the questions! And since my “21 questions” posting is by far the most popular of all the things I have written, I figured this would be a good sequel. So if you are still playing that stupid game with your friends, here is more material to prolong your fun!

^^^ Just imagine that you are Al Pacino answering these questions to Lipton…

1. Favorite word?

2. Least favorite word?

3. What turns you on? (I don’t believe this has a sexual connotation…just throwing that out there)

4. What turns you off?

5. Favorite sound?

6. Least favorite sound?

7. Favorite curse word?

8. What profession, besides the one you are currently involved in, would you like to attempt?

9. What profession would you least like to attempt?

10. If heaven exists, what would you like God to say to you when you arrive?
