About This Quiz

Hollywood is replete with stories of stars making ridiculous demands, from particular flowers in their dressing rooms to nobody on set ever looking them in the eye. Some of these demands are actually quite reasonable - for example, a quiet space to reflect in may genuinely assist an actor's ability to get into character. Some, however, are allegedly a joke, like the famous story about removing all the brown M&Ms. It's OK for stars to make requests, of course; what they do is hard work and if a few little reminders of home or luxuries makes them feel good, then that's not much to ask given that the fans expect them to be at their best. However, how they react when their demands aren't met is where a line can be crossed, with tales of tantrums and even refusing to take the stage!

Of course, most of us will never be a star who can make diva demands and expect someone to cater to them. If we want fancy sheets or the right snacks on demand, we have to organize it ourselves. However, it's fun and actually quite instructive to imagine what we'd demand if the opportunity arose. After all, if you feel the need to control every little thing around you, perhaps that speaks to a fear that people won't respect you. If you need a huge entourage with you at all times, maybe you fear losing your BFFs. If you need your equipment and space to be just so, perhaps you're afraid of under-performing. If you fuss about your presentation, maybe you're not sure about your looks. Whatever your diva demands, they have a message for you - and this quiz can help you figure out what it is!
