Ten Questions from Inside the Actor's Studio

These 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot.

They're better known in the USA as the questions that James Lipton asks every guest at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio".

Here are my answers I gave them no thought and typed them as they came to me. Try it yourself…don’t try to think of something cool, that cheapens the experience. Answer them honestly. Please post your own lists in the comments section here.
