Questions that Matter

I just watched the Inside the Actors' Studio with the cast of Family Guy and realized how amazing these questions were. I mean, I've watched more IAS episodes than most people will admit, but it took this episode watching these people talk about how much they love their job and their workers to inspire me to finally take a look at James Lipton's questions and answer them myself.

1. What is your favorite word?
"Consequently." It constantly reminds me that things have constantly come from other things and will always lead to other things and we have to follow it along and enjoy the ride.

2. What is your least favorite word?
"Stop." Never tell me to stop, especially when I'm doing something I love, which is almost always what I'm doing.

3. What turns you on?
A challenge. I'm very hyper-competitive.

4. What turns you off?
Wishy-washiness. Go for what you want to do and don't let anything stand in your way.

5. What sound do you love?
The sound of pens scratching on paper. Writing on paper is a lost art and a beautiful sound of human power and creation.

6. What sound do you hate?
Hissing. Snakes are evil.

7. What is your favorite curse word?
"Fuckballs." It's just awesome.

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
I'd love to be a writer. Probably magazine or literary journals.

9. What profession would you not like to do?
I could never be a vet. I'm terrified of a lot of animals and those I'm not scared of, I'd never forgive myself if a pet died of my accord or misjudgment.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
Despite the fact that you are gay, you lived with all your heart. Just like my son. Well done.
