Inside Actors Studio - Bravo!

I love the show "Inside Actors Studio" on the Bravo channel, especially after seeing an interview with actor Benicio Del Toro this morning. Acting is such a wonderful philosophical study of human behavior, and I love it when actors go deep into their craft like Del Toro does with all of his mind, body and heart - and he's not in it for the fame. Such pure passion for what he does, and he loves it, relishes in the research and the details of it all, in the process of delving into the mind of each character he plays, the other characters involved and the big picture. Of course, he enjoys the monetary rewards he gets from his work now, but that wasn't his main reason for wanting to act. He enjoys acting and everything about it - we should all be so lucky to love what we do for a living like that.

The famous questions from Inside Actors Studio asked of every artist invited for an interview (and my answers if you will):

What is your favorite word? Heart
What is your least favorite word? Good-bye
What turns you on? Strength
What turns you off? Confinement
What sound do you love? Pounding ocean waves
What sound do you hate? Slamming doors, blaring horns
What is your favorite curse word? Fuck it all !
What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Pilot, Racecar Driver, Astronaut
What profession would you not like to participate in? Trashman
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? You've done good, Maile
