Quote of the Day: Stephen Fry
From The Fry Chronicles:
[In a production of "Love's Labour's Lost"..]
I played the character with perhaps the best description in all of Shakespeare's dramatis personae: 'Don Adriano de Armado, a fantastical Spaniard.' Only I wasn't a fantastical Spaniard. For some reason, whenever I attempt Spanish it comes out as Russian or Italian, or a bastard hybrid of the two. I can manage a Mexican accent acceptably, so my Armado was an inexplicably fantastical Mexican.
