Inside the Actor's Studio: The 10 Questions

(Stickin' with mammoth) #1

If you’ve ever watched those amazing interviews James Lipton conducts with famous actors, you know he concludes each session with ten questions. The questions seem benign, yet they yield intriguing insights that the actors, themselves, have often never considered before. It’s one of my favorite dinner party games.

Let the games begin.

  1. What is your favorite word?

  2. What is your least favorite word?

  3. What turns you on?

  4. What turns you off?

  5. What sound do you love?

  6. What sound do you hate?

  7. What is your favorite curse word? (You can blur the word by highlighting it, clicking on the gear icon at the top right of the reply box, and selecting “Blur Spoiler.”)

  8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

  9. What profession would you not like to do?

  10. If heaven/an afterlife exists, what would you like to hear God/whomever say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
