BIO: Excerpts from my interview with James Lipton
Jim: Our guest tonight has had a truly distinguished career. He has graced many award winning agencies. Anderson & Lembke, McCann Erickson, Wunderman Kato Johnson and of course The M-Line. His client experience knows no bounds. From the esteemed Apple Computer and Microsoft – to such brands as Wells Fargo, Oral-B, Budget Rental Car, Baskin Robbins, Visa and Nestle. Please welcome to the Actor’s Studio… Mr. Jef Loyola.
Jef: Thank you. I’m very glad to be here.
Jim: You once said… budda budda peanut budda. Tell us about it.
Jef: Uh yes… I did say that, but it was just once… in passing. Someone somewhere laughed, I think.
Jim: It was me… truly amazing. I was inspired and mesmerized by it.
Jef: Great…
Jim: We have come to the end of our show when we follow in the great Gerard Depardieu’s footsteps with these questions:
Jim: What is your favorite word?
Jef: Done. ..Because then it is in the past. And, I can move on to something fresh.
Jim: What is your least favorite word?
Jef: Clever… I hate being called clever. Rabbits are clever.
Jim: What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Jef: Deadlines… without them I would turn into a Rastafarian beach man.
Jim: We haven’t heard that one before. What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Jef: Redundancy… I can’t stand doing anything twice. Unless, of course, I’m endlessly hanging on the beach sportin’ my dreads.
Jim: Yes of course… What sound or noise do you love?
Jef: My kids giggling.
Jim: What sound or noise do you hate?
Jef: Jet skis. Rastaman hates the sound of Jet skis.
Jim: Brilliant. What is your favorite curse word?
Jef: I have to pick just one?
Jim: Yes.
Jef: F___ Off
Jim: Thank you. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Jef: I think we covered that… Professional Rastafarian Beach Man.
Jim: Yes and it was worth covering again. What profession would you not like to do?
Jef: Anything having to do with politics, if you call that a profession.
Jim: If you do, then I would. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Jef: Whoa! High five bro. That was a hell of a ride!
