James Lipton has always given credit for the questions to the French television personality Bernard Pivot, who used them on his show, Apostrophes. But it actually began with a writer. As it turns out, Bernard Pivot developed this set of questions from a questionnaire answered by the French essayist and novelist Marcel Proust. Proust originally answered this questionnaire while still in his teens, in a 'confession album,' a type of autograph book popular in the late 19th century. The title of that which Proust wrote in is self-explanatory; it belonged to his friend Antoinette (daughter to a future French president) and was entitled "An Album to Record, Thoughts, Feelings, Etc." It has since become a tool for an artist to reveal aspects of themselves and their work outside of the normal 'interview' format. It's modern evolution has been used to reveal the inner depths of the respondent. It is intentionally short, a mere glimpse into the inner thoughts of the artist. <br /> Donna Russo Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159064474348180030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72191558030080712.post-19125933475420834802014-01-06T11:05:27.327-05:002014-01-06T11:05:27.327-05:00I wish this could have been longer.
