One of my favorite shows to watch on TV is Bravo's "Inside the Actor's Studio". There is something that I enjoy about watching actors in such an intimate setting, answering questions about their craft, instead of the usual gossippy questions about who they're dating, what beauty products they like, etc.
My favorite part of the show is the questionnaire that James Lipton gives near the end of the episode. It's always the same questions, and the answers given range from serious to funny. Here is the questionnaire, and my answers.
