Since I’ve been doing NaBloPoMo, I’ve discovered a lot of great blogs, including Destino, which you should definitely check out. Holley is doing NaBloPoMo, too, and I love some of the writing prompts she’s followed.
So, inspired by Holley and Inside the Actors Studio – which I have no shot at ever actually being interviewed on – here are my answers to the 10 questions James Lipton asks every one of his guests.
If you have a few minutes, watch the video above for some of the best answers he’s received over the years. And, please, share your own answers with all of us!

Oh my gosh, this is so good. I happen to love the question about God. I will be reprimanded by the gate keeper because I love the Georgia O’keefe quote: “If people were more like trees, I might like them better.” It really doesn’t apply to me but I just think it is funny. I probably shouldn’t!
