Awesome!

#1. What does their bedroom look like?

Sterling's bedroom looks like it sprang directly from the pages of Architectural Digest circa 1995. Olivia's mother decorated it shortly after they were married, and she always insisted on behaving as if they had money. Everything's comfortable, but shabby with age and battered from multiple moves.

If you ask Sterling, he'll tell you that his bedroom looks like most five star hotels, since that where he spends the majority of his nights since the divorce.

#15 Biggest and smallest short term goal?

Sterling's biggest short term goal is to stay out of Eliot Spencer's reach. He knew what he was risking by drugging Eliot in Dubai, but now he feels like he can't in good conscience arrest Eliot if Spencer comes after him.

He'll get over it eventually.

His smallest short term goal is re-organizing his life so he can do right by his daughter. He's starting over, and he wants to make sure he doesn't waste the chance.

#19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

Everything he didn't manage to accomplish during the day, and what he's going to do differently tomorrow.

#33. Concept of home and family?

Sterling is very much a traditionalist in this area. Success in his world is being able to provide for your family on one income. Now that Olivia's back in his life, he's already looking for a house and land for them - no apartments for his daughter.

He's also very concerned that she go to a high school worthy of her.

#45. Superstitions or views on the occult?

Sterling's public views on the occult or superstitious people are that they are easily exploitable. Personally he only has one superstition/ritual: Nate and Sterling have a shared Old-Fashioned/Lowball drinking glass, which they pass between each other (since their I.Y.S. days) to symbolize who has the upper hand. (DVD Commentary for The Maltese Falcon Job)

#48. How do they express love?

Sterling isn't a hearts and flowers kind of guy. He expresses love by showing up - by being somebody you can rely on.
