I don't know how many of you watch The Actor's Studio, presented by James Lipton on the Performance Channel, but I love the ten questions he always asks his guest at the end of the show and I thought I'd post them here and (hopefully) have a read of the answers. I have a feeling they will be very interesting / funny. Please feel free to ignore the favourite curse word question - I don't want a ticking off from Dan! :-[

1. What is your favourite word?
2. What is your least favourite word?
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
4. What turns you off?
5. What is your favorite curse word?
6. What sound or noise do you love?
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to do?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
