If James Lipton of The Actor's Studio Interviewed Me
What I Would Say vs. What First Comes to Mind
The first answer is what I would say. (The second is what would first come to mind.)
James: Well, this has really been a pleasure Mrs. Geary, a real pleasure. I must say, maybe one of the best interviews to date.
R. Geary: Well, thank you James. I'm honored. And I'm not even an actor.
James: Who cares about that? And now the questions that I know at least I am dying to know the answers to...
R. Geary: (laughs) Hit me Jim.
1. What is your favorite word?
Love (winner)
2. What is your least favorite word?
Like (balm, as in lip balm or balmy night. Coming in second and third are bubblegum and pantyhose.)
3. What turns you on (creatively, spiritually, or emotionally)?
Witty Banter (dirty talk)
4. What turns you off?
An Ignorant, Cheap Ass (mayonnaise)
5. What is your favorite curse word?
Fuck (fuck)
6. What sound or noise do you love?
Clapping (myself)
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
A Sigh of Resignation (gum noises of any sort be they chewing, smacking, popping or chomping)
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Backup Dancer (Princess)
9. What profession would you not like to do?
Butcher (toll booth collector)
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Nice one! followed by clapping (Phew, you made it! followed by clapping)
James: Well, thank you so much.
R. Geary: Now James. I think you should ask one more question.
James: For you? Of course.
11. If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? (James nods with much enthusiasm)
The Ability to Teleport (teleporting still, that has always been my superpower of choice.)
So, those are my answers for today. My mind may change tomorrow. Hell, I might even write my answers down again. Feel free to do the same. What would your answers be?
