Boring job interview? Try answering their questions with famous quotes

Interviewing for a job sucks.  It's awkward, usually worthless, and the questions are often ridiculous. Of all the terrible job interview situations, none are more excruciating than the interviews that drag on after realizing you don't even want the job.  But what do you do? Excuse yourself from the interview? Too rude. Continue answering all of the questions seriously? Too boring. The only real solution is to start answering their questions with famous quotes from movies and celebrities. It provides you with the entertainment you need to survive the rest of the interview and the interviewee will likely take your answers seriously.

Here are 10 examples of job interview questions answered brilliantly by celebrity and movie quotes:
