[laughing silently] Yeah. That's good. I like that. Huh. Okay. I think I've pretty much run through everything. I thought that maybe I'd end on the Bernard Pivot questionnaire because, well, I just think it's funny.
Ohhh...
Dude. It's funny. And I have to say, "I always like to end these sessions by proffering the questionnaire made famous by Bernard Pivot on his wonderful show, Bouillon de Culture." What's your favorite word?
Oh, fuck.
[cracking up]
That's so...this is kind of surreal...uh...my favorite word. I'm gonna be like De Niro. De Niro literally could not answer ANY of these questions.
I know! He blanked out.
I mean, literally, we were sitting there for, like, two minutes. Eh, I don't know. Gimme a word.
I like, "Oh, fuck." I think that's pretty funny. Come on! Think, like, when you're working or something...
What's a good word...uh..."chassis."
"Chassis"? [giggling] Okay, that is AWESOME.
[laughing] I like the way words sound.
Yeah, me too. The onomatopoeia of it.
Yeah, what's another good one? Because when you say "a good word," I just start to think of words I like to say. Like, uh, "gumption."
Oooh. I like "guacamole."
[laughing] "Guacamole." Greaaat.
Or "yogurt." It goes back to George Carlin. What's your least favorite word?
Um. Hmm. Oh, fuck, dude. This is hard.
See? You never know! You might be on this show in the future and you're gonna have to prepare this!
Um. "Sadness." [laughs] No. Heh.
What is it -- I hate it when they're like, "What is your favorite word?" "Can." "What is your least favorite word?" "Can't." It's like, WHAT?
Um, least favorite word. Can it be a phrase?
Yes.
"Interesting, but it's not going to go any further."
[laughing hard] Okay, that's great. What turns you on creatively, personally, professionally?
Other people doing inspiring shit.
What turns you off?
Cynicism.
What sound or noise do you love?
Um. I love a train.
Really?
Yeah, I love the sound a train makes.
What sound or noise do you hate?
"Shh-shh."
What, people going, "shhh"?
Yeah. "Shh."
What's your favorite curse word?
Um actually, it's an Italian..."Fottuto chucho cazzo." Which means, "You motherfucking cocksucker." When I was in Italy, this guy would always go, "Fottuto chucho cazzo." And I was like, "What the HELL is that?" And he was like, [Italian accent] "You motherfucking cocksucker."
