What do you believe will happen when you die? 
As a Christian, I believe in Heaven and Hell, and that, when I die, I will be held accountable for everything I've done in this life. While this probably sounds ominous, I don't think death is something we should be afraid of.

Write your own epitaph or for a fellow cast member. 
I would like a simple epitaph. Just my full name, including my Chinese name, and my date of birth and death. Nothing fancy. Of course, I might change my mind a couple of years down the road. Who knows?
