Let's Pretend You're on "Inside the Actor's Studio"

Rate Guide Rating_4_0 (3)

So if you ever watch Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton, you'll know that every actor James interviews gets asked a series of ten questions that was perfected by Bernard Pivot, who apparently used to be a French TV host (thanks Wikipedia!) (To think all this time I thought he was some hoighty toighty psychologist!) Anywho, I always think about how I would respond if I were on the show, but seeing that I'm never going to be a famous actor, I (and you!) might as well respond to them now. (You don't have to answer ALL of them, but you are more than welcome to, in fact, I downright encourage it).

“Did I forgot to mention that all our food is calorie-free?”

God: “Oh, Matt Fried… it’s you.”

Me: “Uh, yeah.”

God: “I want to… screw it, neither one of us is happy you’re here.”

God:

It is a tragedy so many people had to die in my name. I’m all about love and harmony.

“You are the nicest person ever.  Now, see that long line over there?  The one where you have to wait in to get fitted for your new white robe?  Go cut in front of everyone.  Yes, do it.  It’s OK.  Seriously.  And don’t feel guilty about it.”

Doing a guide with these questions is great. Maybe this can replace the emails you get about ‘learn something about me’ You know the ones where you have to fill out the answers then send it back.
