Mover & Shaker
Inspired by the
Proust Questionnaire
Proust Questionnaire
ANDRESS, MANHATTAN, N.Y.
1. What do you do for a living? I'm an Investment Banker in Public Finance.
2. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I've always had an interdisciplinary career. As a result, I didn't take the traditional route to Wall Street. For example, I used to run Economic Development programs in West Africa. So, I'll probably be doing something completely different in 5 years. What? Well, I have a degree in International Relations and Drama, so I have always wanted to try out being a Political Pundit--opining on foreign policy, particularly in the Caribbean. But if that doesn't happen, I'd like to consult the governments of under-developed countries about better ways to alternatives to financing their national infrastructure projects.
3. What is your favorite restaurant? That's a tough one. I am an animal of HABIT if you've ever met one! I order the same food, from the same restaurant EVERYDAY for lunch! It's a little embarrassing! But my "go to" these days for dinner is Sapphire in Columbus Circle for Indian. All the waiters know me! (again, embarrassing!)
4. If you were stranded on an Island and could only have 5 c.d.’s to listen to for the rest of your life, what would they be? The Best of Tupac; The Best of Angie Stone; The Best of Dirty South Hits; Michel Martelly's "Aloufa" (Haitian Kompa); a medley of Trinidad Carnival Soca Hits ... If I'm stuck on an island for the rest of my life I need to be able pour one out for the homies, two step to some R&B, roll dem bowz, whine my hips, and catch a jump up! These 5 CDs will get me there.
5. What is your favorite curse word? Flying Fuck! But I have always enjoyed a strategically placed "Listen honey" which is my corporate version of "Listen BITCH" ... so poignant! :)
6. If you had to pick one favorite movie, what would it be? A Lion in Winter ... Peter O'Toole, Katherine Hepburn and Anthony Hopkins ... amazing!
7. What do you think of Anal? Exit only.
8. What turns you on? A strong Sense of Self that results in just enough Confidence & generous dose of Swagger. Passion & Determination. I don't care what you do for a living as long as your ABOUT IT. Love that.
9. What Turns you off? Phony ass insecure men who try to sell me on their Paycheck and Resume. Awful! NEXT!!! Also, can't stand people who SMACK their mouths when they eat!!! Are you a cow? Awful!!!
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear from God, when you arrive to the pearly gates? That I fulfilled my purpose on this earth for the short time I was here ... that I was successful in making myself USEFUL to others.
