These 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. It is probably more familiar to many as the question James Lipton asks at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio."

What is your favorite word?
Hearing 'Thank You' makes me happy.

What is your least favorite word?
'Stupid'. It always sounds so harsh and demeaning. I don't like hearing people being called stupid or worse being called stupid myself. No one is stupid, just uninformed.

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
An experienced mind. Someone who is passionate about what they do, who have a love for life. People who inspire me turn me on.

What turns you off?
Negative attitudes. People who are quick to judge others. Bad breath and body odor.

What is your favorite curse word?
F*CK


What sound or noise do you love?
Laughter. Nothing is better than hearing someone explode with side splitting laughter and seeing them smile and being happy.

What sound or noise do you hate?
Crying, sadness, desperation.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I'd always dreamt of being an actress or model. But I know I'm more of a behind the scenes person.

What profession would you not like to do?
I'd love to be a real professional make-up artist. It's my dream to be internationally known. It's what I've always wanted to be and hopefully someday will be.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
If Heaven exists, and for that matter if God exists, I'd like him to tell me that I have served my time on earth well. That I had been a good daughter, good sister, trustworthy friend and companion and helpful to those who needed me.
