If I were on Inside the Actor's Studio...

I don't watch a lot of TV (I DVR most of the shows I want to see), but I am kind of an addict when it comes to the Bravo show "Inside the Actor's Studio". For those of you who have not seen it, it's basically a Q&A session with an actor, hosted by James Lipton. They talk about everything, from their childhoods, to their start in Hollywood, to their film/TV roles, to their future projects. They discuss the art of acting in great detail (sometimes too much detail), but my favorite part of the show is the end, when Mr. Lipton quizzes the actor on their likes/dislikes. You find out some very interesting things...

So it got me thinking about how I would answer Mr. Lipton, should I ever become a guest on "Inside..." I know... I know.. the chances are extremely remote, but I wanted to be prepared should the event ever arise. So, for your viewing enjoyment, here are my answers to the Actor's Studio quiz:

What is your favorite word? chocolate
What is your least favorite word? No or Can't
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? creativity/humor
What turns you off? cruelty, spitefullness
What is your favorite curse word? son of a *****
What sound or noise do you love? wind blowing through Australian pine trees
What sound or noise do you hate? telephone ringing, anyone/thing crying in pain
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? radio performer (like old time comedy/mystery radio)
What profession would you not like to do? politician/ambassador
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? It's good to see you, but there's been some mistake. You'll have to go back.

What would your answers be?
