The Pivot Questionnaire ("Inside Actor's Studio" Questions)

These notorious ten questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. They're better known as the questions that James Lipton asks every guest at the end of the lauded show "Inside the Actor's Studio." I'm always on the edge of my seat to hear what the people I admire are going to say. How would you answer them?
