In 1890, a teenage Marcel Proust (famous French writer) answered a series of personality questions in a "confessions album" (a popular parlor game at the time). His answers were so poignant the series of questions eventually became known as the "Proust Questionnaire". The magazine Vanity Fair as well as the TV show "Inside the Actors' Studio" has used them to interview celebrities for decades.

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I want to become a monarch butterfly. Not only are they beautiful creatures, but they are very cool. They can fly very far and are also poisonous to animals that try to eat them. In my next life I would love to be able to fly away to place. Not only would I be able to fly away, but if any animals try to eat me they will not be able to because monarchs are poisonous, but they will also not die which is good. I think being a monarch butterfly would be a very carefree life that I would enjoy.
