6. What is your favorite color? Brown, black and green

8. What is your favorite thing to do? Go to the pool (if I took him every day it wouldn't be enough.)

And, for fun, I asked him the same questions that James Lipton asks at the end of Inside the Actor's Studio.

1. What is your favorite word? Jesus
2. What is your least favorite word? Dumb
3. What turns you on? (I rephrased with, "What do you like?") Elephants

5. What sound or noise do you love? The sound of elephants going, "Bawereeee! Bawereee!" (elephants trumpeting)
6. What sound or noise do you hate? The sound my remote control boat makes when I'm taking it out of the Styrofoam. (this happens to sound a lot like finger nails on a chalkboard)
7. What is your favorite curse word? Shut up
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Pizza seller
9. What profession would you not like to do? I would not like to sing on the radio (should I be concerned with the fact that he wants to sell pizzas for a living but getting a music contract is out of the question?)
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? (I omitted the "If Heaven exists" part)? Welcome, Garrett.
