Vanity Fair has a long-running feature, the Proust Questionnaire, which consists of questions intended to elicit self-analysis. It seems the questionnaire has finally met it's match with the caustic red-head comedian Louis CK.

His tactic is a mixture of outright refusals to answer (What or who is the greatest love of your life?: "My God. What a personal question. Who is this?") and disarming honesty (What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?: "I have an absolutely beautiful penis. It’s stunning in every way. God I hate my perfect penis.") At least we assume that's what that was.
