Thread Starter 
I Love the show on Bravo called “Inside the actors studio”. One of my favorite parts is the Bernard Pivot questionnaire; these 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot.
I’ll go first:

01. What is your favorite word? Fabulous
02. What is your least favorite word? Fail/failed or failure
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Heat…be it from the sun, the kitchen, and water in my shower, pool or Jacuzzi, sauna…whatever, heat makes me happy
04. What turns you off? Snow or things cold not in my drink
05. What is your favorite curse word? F**K
06. What sound or noise do you love? Classical music
07. What sound or noise do you hate? My alarm clock
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Musician (electric guitar, of the bluesy persuasion)
09. What profession would you not like to do? Accounting
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Don’t fret the mistakes you made weren’t as bad as you think….
What about you?
