The Bernard Privot Questionaire
 
Q: What is your favorite word?
AB: Harmony. For me it works on three levels. I love the song, the Elton song. I play it all the time when I'm just sitting at a piano. My father and brother worked for a toy company called Harmony, so the word evokes those relationships. And finally, musically, I love harmony. Beatles, Beach Boys. I just love harmonies.

Q: What is your least favorite word?
AB: Nausea.

Q: What turns you on?
AB: Billy Joel said "competence" for this question . . . He may have something there. I'd have to say intelligence. Intelligence is so enjoyable.

Q: What turns you off?
AB: The Bernard Privot Questionaire. No, seriously, I hate bigotry. That tops my list.

Q: What sound do you love?
AB: Sir Paul McCartney's voice. Always hopeful and optimistic.

Q: What sound do you hate?
AB: An angry voice. Maybe Paul McCartney's angry voice. I should stop calling him in the middle of the night I guess.

Q: What is your favorite curse word?
AB: I use fuck a lot. Fuck I guess. Yeah, fuck.

Q: What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
AB: Politics.

Q: What profession would you not like to participate in?
AB: Any boss type job.

Q: If heaven exists what would you like to hear god say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
AB: "Where's your stuff?" I hope he asks. Honestly, I have a real love of material things, the things I surround myself with. Books, CDs, photos, guitars, I guess I hope I get to live with these things in heaven. I mean, look, ultimately I'm only willing to release so much..
