The Inside The Actors Studio Questionnaire

Gravdigr · 05-06-2014, 02:13 PM

Well, it's been brought up a time or two lately, and since I couldn't recall ever seeing it posted (and was too lazy to search), I present to you The Inside The Actors Studio questionnaire.

FYI, in case you didn't know, this questionnaire is based on a concept by French TV host Bernard Pivot, on his show 'Apostrophes'. Pivot's concept is an adaptation of a questionnaire from a confession album filled out by Marcel Proust.

Anyway, The Questionnaire:

1 What is your favorite word? Free

2 What is your least favorite word? Ugly

3 What turns you on? Beauty, of course, and knowledge

4 What turns you off? Willful ignorance

5 What sound or noise do you love? Soft wind in the trees

6 What sound or noise do you hate? The slam-bang of a wooden screen door

7 What is your favorite curse word? It's a toss-up between 'fuck' & 'goddammit' (The latter bellowed at the top of my lungs)

8 What profession other than your own would you like
to attempt? When I was younger I wanted to be a pilot.

9 What profession would you not like to do? Teacher

10 If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? A paraphrasing from the last episode of the tv series 'Lost': "We've been waiting for you, Gravdigr.", or "The band's warmed up, Grav, have a seat."

I may post the Proust questionnaire (considerably more in depth) at a later date. If someone doesn't beat me to it.

And just for fun here's someone's idea of the best responses to the questionnaire:

Thanks grav! I've been crazy-posting Inside the Actor's Studio clips. I think it's a fun show. I love movies and tv and whatever it takes to make the good ones happen. So Imma answer quiz:

1 What is your favorite word? inconsequential

2 What is your least favorite word? panties

3 What turns you on? intelligence

4 What turns you off? disingenuous people

5 What sound or noise do you love? A great thunderstorm

6 What sound or noise do you hate? knuckle-cracking

7 What is your favorite curse word? Does it have to be one word? My go-to is JESUS MOTHER OF GOD! It makes no sense and it's real blasphemous.

8 What profession other than your own would you like
to attempt? welding, maybe even underwater welding

9 What profession would you not like to do? nursing/healthcare

10 If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? "Oh, you big lug...you tried. Get in here." (at this point I expect a noogie)
