Inside the Actor's Studio

Last night I was watching the finals of America’s Got Talent.  One of the segments included a man by the name of James Lipton.  James Lipton is the host of a show called Inside the Actor’s Studio.  It has been airing on Bravo since 1994.

The show is an interview between Mr. Lipton and celebrities ranging from Paul Newman to the Cast of Glee.  He ends each show with a series of questions which provide the audience insight into the personality of the celebrity.  This week you are going to answer these questions. 

For your comment please respond to the following:

1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What inspires creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
4. What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
5. What sound or noise do you love?
6. What sound or noise do you hate?
7. What is your favorite curse word? ***KEEP IT CLEAN
8. What profession would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to do?
10. When you get to Heaven, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

  1. My favorite word probably is the word jargon because it rolls of your tongue. My least favorite word is good because it is so generic. Music inspires me creatively and emotionally, and art and doodling distracts me. I love the sound of hand bells, but hate the sounds of tapping or humming. I have never thought of this question, or how to answer it, but really, in truth, I have none. I want to be a computer software engineer or a hands-on creator. I would hate to end up doing nothing when I grow up. When I get to Heaven, I would like to hear God say, "It's bout time he showed up!"

  2. My favorite word is, well I don't have one. I haven't yet found a word that clicks. I don't like the work suck because it is too of a word. Plus there is probably a better word out there. I really get inspired when I hear good music. I think it just gets me focused. I get turned out of the creative zone when I have to do something after. I just look forward to what good or bad will come next. I really like a strong background beat to a keyboard song but I also dig classical music. I hate a startling loud noise, it just gets me out of sink with what I am doing. If I had to chose one it would probably be crikey. For a profession I would love to be a chemist, I love the physical side of math and science. I would not like to be a dump truck driver. It is just a low paying and smelly job. When i go to heaven, I would like god to says '' welcome into heaven ''. I yearn for that moment to come, and yet i still want to enjoy life.

  3. I think my favorite word is pie. My least favorite word is stupid. I am inspired all 3 ways by the outdoors. Sports turn me on. Homework turns me off. My favorite noise is almost all loud noises like a construction site or a fire truck. My least favorite word is pickle. The profession I would like to attempt is dentistry. The profession that I would not like to attempt is being the President because I don't want to tell other people what to do. When I go to Heaven I would like God to say to me you did a good job in life.

  4. My favorite word is Tanner because it is awesome and it's my name! But my list favorite word is and because it is so overused. Something that inspires is underdog hockey players ones who don't fit in but in the end they get there moment to shine. Something that turns me off is sleep because it literally turn me off. A sound that I love is the sound of motorcycle man I love that sound. A sound that I hate is the sound of styrofoam screeched together. In all honesty I don't have a favorite curse word. A profession I would like to attempt is would be hockey or motorcycle riding those are just the things I like. Something I would hate to do is work at McDonolds because it a low paying job and I would hate it. When I get to Heaven I would like Saint Paul to say Finally we have been waiting for you for so long it seems like it's been centuries.

  5. My favorite word has got to be "vibrant", I just love the way it rolls of the tongue. My least favorite word is "impossible", because I don't believe anything is impossible. What inspires me is watching someone's face completely light up, it makes me want to go out and do something good. Something that turns off that inspiration is boredom. It completely brain washes people, and I hate it. A noise that I love is the sound of rain on the roof, its makes me feel very serene. I hate the feel of a dull pencil being used, it sends shivers down my spine. My favorite curse word of all time is "Aw Dang". It makes me laugh every time! I would like to attempted to be a vet because I love to help animals. Sadly, I can't stand the sight of blood! A profession I would NOT like to attempt is a job where you have to sit in a little cubical all day and do nothing, I would hate that! When I go to Heaven, I would like God to say to me, "Avery, you have worked hard to make a difference in this world, so come on in."

  6. My favorite word is Gizmo. I don't know why it's just fun to say. My least favorite word to say is, well' I don't know. Some thing thats inspires me creatively is art work because it is just ordinary people that do something cool. Some thing that turns me of emotionally is the shootings and bombings happening. The sound that I love is laughing. The sound that I hate is the fire alarm at our school. It's super loud and always makes me jump. I don't have a favorite curse word and I don't think any one should. A profession I would like to attempt would be a professional skier. I think it would be awesome to get payed for doing something you love. A profession I would not like to be is a mail man. I would stink to drive around all day delivering stuff to peoples houses. When I get to heaven I would like to hear God say that I had earned it.

  7. My favorite word is adorable. I don't know why, I just say it a lot. My least favorite words are hate and dumb because they are really rude. God inspires me spiritually. What turns me off is when some one hurts some one else. I love the sound of drums. I dislike the sound of chomping on food with your mouth open. I don't think that a class of 6th graders should have a favorite curse word or anyone. I really want to be a singer. I don't want to be a doctor because I dislike blood. When I go to heaven I would like to hear God has been waiting for me.

  8. My favorite word is bumfuzzle (it means perplex), because it's such a funny sounding word (yes it's real, look it up). My least favorite word is 'chillax because any time I'm angry and some person who thinks they're cool, says to just 'chillax it just makes me angry. My mom and dad inspire me spiritually, creatively, and emotionally. Something that turns me off spiritually, creatively, and emotionally is when someone tells me I can't do it or they tell me I did horrible. I love the sound of nature (leaves rustling, crickets, birds chirping, bugs buzzing, etc.). I do not like that high pitched sound machines make. I very,very strongly dislike ALL swear words. The profession I would like to attempt is cooking. The profession I would not like to attempt is the pooper, scooper, at the zoo. When I get to the Pearly Gate in Heaven I would love to here God say (to the angles),"She's a keeper." I would also love to here God say (to me),"Anika you've done a very, very good job with your life, I'm glad to welcome you to heaven!"

  9. my favorite word is soccer because that is my favorite sport. my least favorite word is "whatever" because people just use that word way too much( IT GETS OLD PEOPLE!). My mom and dad inspire me creatively and emotionally. Something that turns me off is being bored. A sound or noise that I love is music. A sound that I hate is when people are eating and their utensils scrape against their teeth, it is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. I don't have a favorite curse word. When I grow up I want to be a writer. I would hate to be a garbage man, that profession just seems so meaningless(no offense garbage mans). I want to hear God say" well done, you lived a good life and made a difference in the world. Your family is waiting, now go and enjoy eternal life in my kingdom."

  10. My favorite word has to be supercalifragilistic. IT is a real word for those of you who aren't sure you can type it into a document and it will spell check it for you. I agree with Lucas G. I really don’t like the word sucks it just sounds rude. What really inspires me is when I read a good book or listen to my favorite song. What really turns me off is the thought of going inside after playing in the neighborhood really late on Friday nights. I absolutely love the sounds of laughs and screams of people having fun and the sound of the night and a fire camping in the mountains. Of all noises on earth I really don’t like the sound of those extremely super squeaky hole punches, They just blow up my brain and eardrums. Just to keep this short, I will say I don’t like any swear words. I would like to attempt to be a sea animal trainer of some kind, because I have always loved marine animals. I will not take any job that involves smelly trash or dust bunnies (no really hold a dust bunny in front of me and I will immediately start to gag). When I go to heaven I want to hear God say “Welcome, you did very well.”

What badly influences me is my brother, Liam. I love the noise of the ocean waves. I hate the sound of chalk on a chalk board. My favorite word is I don't give a crap.

I would love it when I got to heaven, for God to say, "You had a very awesome and peaceful life."
