Fake is not a word i like to use because there's nothing fake about what i do. it's a show, it's a predetermined outcome; we're putting on a television drama, action, comedy, whatever you want to call it - but it's not fake. fake would be if i was just about to take a body slam, and my stuntman did it. fake would be if i was going to take a chair shot to the head, and the chair was made of rubber. i'll tell the world that it's a show, but i hate the word fake. it's such an unfair term to us.

When the railroad trains moaned, and river-winds blew, bringing echoes through the vale, it was as if a wild hum of voices, the dear voices of everybody he had known, were crying: "peter, peter! where are you going, peter?" and a big soft gust of rain came down. he put up the collar of his jacket, and bowed his head, and hurried along.

Adrian shook his head, still smiling. "i've said over and over, i'd do anything for you. i just keep hoping it'll be something like, 'adrian, let's go hot tubbing' or 'adrian, take me out for fondue.'" "well, sometimes we have to--did you say fondue?" sometimes it was impossible to follow adrian's train of thought. "why in the world would i ever say that?" he shrugged. "i like fondue.
