I have loved the show "Inside the Actors Studio" over the years. I love the glimpse into the creative process, although the host is quite pompous and there's more than a little bit of Hollywood gossip (What's it like to work with De Niro?). Aw, who am I kidding, that's pretty fun too.

At the end of each show, the host asks the guest a series of questions. Who wants to play? Answer quickly!

1. What is your favorite word?
festive

2. What is your least favorite word?
basically

3. What turns you on, creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
a gathering of people where the Spirit is flowing (e.g. during a concert, with my CGs when we're all laughing, even in a committee meeting where there's a can-do spirit)

administrivia

5. What is your favorite curse word?
"Shit." It's the one I say most often, usually involuntarily.
