The question
What kind of death would you consider a good one?Originally asked
Vanity Fair, to its interview subject, The Proust Questionnaire
A fixed final question in Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire, repeated verbatim across respondent pages.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
Like? I have no soft spot, fondness, admiration, respect, attraction, or esteem for death. I am not taken with it or infatuated by it. I carry no torch, have no crush, take no shine to the word or action of death. I don’t have the hots for it, and I don’t dig it, either.

In my sleep. And I don’t think about it. It’ll be what it’ll be.
Singing onstage—and everyone walking around me saying, “Look how happy she looks.”
In my sleep. In bed. With a half-eaten egg salad sandwich on my chest.
In my sleep in my 90s, after a great gig.
A glass of red wine with ice.
