So, I'm sure most of you have heard that Keanu will be taping Bravo's "Inside the Actor's Studio" in New York on May 10.
In order to attend the taping you must subscribe to the whole series of seven, which I'm not sure you are still able to do because the series kicked off on January 26 with Kate Winslet. However, if you are in New York and have the means, you might check out the information found here, at the New School University's website.
From what I hear, taping can last for several hours which is then cut down to the hour long program. Host and dean of the Actors Studio Drama School, James Lipton "has sat down with some of the world's most accomplished actors and directors for penetrating, fascinating interviews. Lipton's studious research and enlightened curiosity has inspired his guests to open up and confess their deepest thoughts about the art of acting."
A traditional part of the Actor's Studio interview involves a "personality profile" comprised of the famous ten questions by Bernard Pivot.
I've listed them below and given my own answers...I wonder what Keanu's will be?
- What is your favorite word?
-mocha- What is your least favorite word?
-goodbye- What turns you on?
-laughter- What turns you off?
-dishonesty- What sound or noise do you love?
-a great bassline- What sound or noise do you hate?
-a creature in pain- What is your favorite curse word?
-fuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkk- What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
- rockstar- What profession other than yours would absolutely not like to attempt?
-anything that would necessitate carrying a firearm- If heaven exists, what would you like to hear god say when you arrive at the gates?
-"Hey, you did good. Would you like to go back and do it again?"
What are your answers?

LOL right back @ RJ & Netty! Hahaha, I *love* teaching people cursewords :-D
Ok, first you have to remember that our ‘g’ is a sharp one (Like the arabic ‘g’ sound) You should prounounce it as ‘ggccchhhgggg’. Basically, if you make it sound as if you’re coughing up a hairball, you’re half-way there ;-).
The ‘ij’ is best described as ‘ai’, but with a little ‘ie’ (as in ‘lies’) as well.
'de' is pronounced as 'the' with a d instead of th, and a short 'e', making it sound like 'duh'
Pest is the same as your ‘pest’ (I believe that means ‘insects or rodents’ in English), but the important part is that you *SPIT* out the ‘p’ in a very forcefull manner. Our ‘s’ resembles the hissing of a cobra, it’s also important to hurl the ‘t’ right in their faces ;-D For an almost perfect pronouncation, it goes like this:
“Kraichgggg duh Pesssssttttt”
The word ‘pest’ itself refers to the black plague, but for a little variation, you might want to add 'builen' (buuwlen) in front of 'pest', turning it into the bubonic plague.
*Giggle*
BTW, our word for ‘darling’ or ‘sweetheart’ is: Schat.
If you want to let a loved one know that you think he/she is cute, you go like this :
Hiss as a cobra. Make the hairball sound. Go ‘ah!’. Then spit a ‘t’ in his/her face.
Lovely, eh? :-)
Posted by: Julie! on February 3, 2004 10:19 AMMiss Julie!, you dear are a riot!!!

Posted by: Julie! on February 3, 2004 06:53 PMJulie! I like the way you describe the Dutch language ... hairballs, spitting, hissing. I can't speak it myself, but my father is Dutch and you're description is pretty much spot on.
I do know a little Christmas verse (but not how to spell it) ... Sinter Klaus k'poinkia, hora in my skoinkia, hora in my lasha, danke Sinter Klass ya. That's about all I know ... oh and ... Danke ya vell hore! (please excuse the atrocious spelling).

Posted by: sta-cie on February 4, 2004 08:22 PMCan I change one of mine? Because really -- profession to attempt = actor? is not likely as I cannot memorize for anything, and can't cry on demand.
On the other hand, profession to attempt = designer
Yeah! all I would need for that is *talent* and training, the desire is already there...when I was in college, after being an art history major and before being the English major I ended up being...for a brief moment...I wanted to be a graphic designer. I still think it's the coolest profession ever. Which is why I worship so many of you all!
