The Pivot Questionnaire

Like most kids, baby Fujikakes wanted to be an actress. They got to kiss all the cute boys and everyone liked them. I even went to a John Robert Powers open casting call with headshots, and got a call back! (with a figure that I had to pay…No thank you)

Around this time I started watching “Inside the Actor’s Studio” and was fascinated by the HUGE stack of cards that James Lipton had and went through. BUT my favorite part of the show was near the end where he would do the Pivot Questionnaire, and since I will never get asked the questions by the late Mr. Lipton, I’ve decided to answer them here.

I think that anybody’s craft is fascinating. A taxi driver talking about taxi driving is going to be very, very interesting. -James Lipton
