Spike's April Q&A.


~ What book do you have on your bedside table at the moment?

Bloody hell, knocked over the lot of them trying to answer your question. You want to know, come over and look for yourself.

~ Derek Jacobi has said that "To be or not to be..." is not a soliloquy but Hamlet speaking to Ophelia, partly because what he describes happens to her. What are your thoughts on this interesting view?

Haven't read 'Hamlet' in over a century, but yeah, I can envision that. She'd listen to him speak his heart, then twist the knife with her treachery so that he'd realise his total isolation that much faster. Not quite akin to telling a wench about the best night of your life, only to have her ask why it has to mean anything, is it, but you get my drift. Now, look. I'd rather talk Prospero or a bit of Mephistopheles. You up for that?

> Do you have to hunt for your keys every day or are you one of those people who always put them in the same place when you come in?

When Buffy hides them, I hunt them down. Bit of fun, that.

> What's better: old friends, or new friends, and why?

To a fellow like me it's nice to have friends, old or new, who wouldn't rather spend time with a railroad spike. Nice to not be alone.

~ How did you come by your signature black-wear?

Hides the blood, doesn't it? You wanna stop asking about the obvious?

~ What's the first thing you think about when you get up.

Buffy. Or do you mean when I *wake* up? Make yourself clear if you can, pet.

~ Of all the people you have known, who are the three most interesting or inspiring people?

Buffy's mum - she listened without judging me most of the time. When she did judge, she made sense. Gave me hope.

Angel - 'cause it's an uphill climb for him every day out of the blood and the despair, but he's tryin'. Always tryin'. He'll tell you that, you ask him.

The third one...you know who she is. You gonna make me say it? Already did, in that abandoned house back in Sunny-D. Still feel that way, always will. Yeah.
