A DOZEN QUESTIONS
(5 of 12 Posts)
The Pivot
Questionnaire comprises 10 questions. I have seen it used on the television
show Inside The Actor's Studio, presented by James Lipton. Apparently
Proust was the original inspiration. The modern questions
originated on a French TV show called Bouillon de Culture, hosted by Bernard
Pivot. I have expanded the questions to 12.

personal, powerful, emotional, unsettling and quite superb book about the
