Actor's Studio Questionnaire
The Pivot Questionnaire
("Inside Actor's Studio" Questions)
These 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot.
They're better known as the questions that James Lipton asks every guest at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio" show.
Please answer in my "comments" space.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
(i wish i had the talent to be a painter, would love to buy and refurbish old houses, and wonder what might have happened had i pursued my music career.)
