The Bernard Pivot Questionaire

[wvrevy]

If you've ever watched "Inside the Actor's Studio" on Bravo, you know that the host ends every show with the same 10 questions, and the actors' answers really provide quite a bit of insight into their personality. Sooo...I thought we could give it a shot here. I'll post the questions on this post, then answer them on another one. Have fun (and be honest !)
