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!
1. What is your favorite word? Starbucks
2. What is your least favorite word? Goodbye
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? People, music, art, nature, animals, gratitude
4. What turns you off? Meanness
5. What is your favorite curse word? Dickhead
6. What sound or noise do you love? Laughter
7. What sound or noise do you hate? Gun shots
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Bookstore owner
9. What profession would you not like to do? Firefighter
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Your appointment’s not for another 50 years.

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!
