Many thanks to Mark Passaro, a dear friend, who turned me on to this. Vanity Fair has been publishing the Proust Questionnaire of many famous people for the last who-knows-how-long, and on it's website they let you take your own, and see which celebrity you share the most answers with. I am 93% the same person as Giorgio Armani. I think the next time i'm on 5th avenue, i'll take this in and demand a lifetime 93% discount. I'll let you know how that one goes.
I suggest you read MP's blog, as it has inspired and entertained me on many lazy afternoons just like this one.
Without further adieu:
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Using my God-given talents in a way that I can make a tangible, positive difference in the community around me.
What is your greatest fear?
Letting those talents, which are the product of the love and devotion of so many people, go to waste.
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
In a perfect world, Ernest Hemingway.
Which living person do you most admire?
My parents, hands down.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
I have an affinity for taking the easy way out.
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Arrogance.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Sloth.
On what occasion do you lie?
Only when I have to.
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
My weird red facial hair.
When and where were you happiest?
Thanksgiving 2003. Returning home from college for the first time to see my best friends from High School solidified our friendships that, 6 years later, are the strongest and best I could ever imagine having.
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
I would be able to grow a moustache.
If you could change one thing about your family what would it be?
Bigger. The more the merrier!
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Ask me again in 20 years.
If you died and came back as a person or thing what do you think it would be?
A court musician in the house of Esterházy, ca. 1785. That would probably be about the most fun thing in the whole universe.

My thumb calluses.

The prolonged absence of KC Barbeque from my life.
Who are your heroes in real life?

Without any regrets.
What is your motto?
Great art is a miracle.
