Extract from Sci-Fi Buzz (TV interview)

"I wouldn't really call this a horror show, when I was a kid I went to horror movies but I wasn't that big a fan of the horror genre it was more (that was more) about shock value. With this, hopefully inspires someone to think about what could happen (you know) and that's fascinating to me as opposed to three beats and then we scare you". (Adam Storke talking about Prey).

"These characters were so clear and the book did so much of the homework for a lot of us that you wanted to be as passionate as the book was. I think people really cared about that and brought that to the piece. There were many days when you'd be thinking 'well in the book it said' and you had to realise well it's not the book. But because there's so much allegory and spirituality in the book you wanted to bring that to the mini series. Many times there was just not enough time or room for that so you had to do it very subtly and find your own spots where you wanted it to come out. Also because the piece is so long you had to be clear about tracking your own journey and not getting way laid by the other stories that were going on". (Adam Storke talking about The Stand)

"They combined characters to tighten up the script. It actually works quite well because of the relationship between Nadine and Larry. They're pretty much the first people they see who aren't ill when the apocalypse happened and that in itself causes a very interesting relationship. Not only do they start to love each other they also realise that they really need each other to survive which also happens in the book but it's easier to follow this way". (Adam Storke talking about characters in The Stand)

"It was very intense. We would stay up there on that cross pretty much all night and try not to come down. Kind of just enjoy the horror of it. You got a lot of people screaming for your blood and you've got Jamey who plays Flagg and Miguel (Ferrer) who plays his side kick Lloyd and everyone's fighting for their space literally. It's very dramatic - it should be spectacular. And very sad. People are dying so other people can live - this is what Martyrs are made of. Reluctant ones at that". (Adam Storke talking about the ending in The Stand)

"Far from it. I was always very sports-oriented. But in the tenth grade my English teacher said, "We need people to play waiters in Can-Can," so I went down and auditioned. She gave me a part - I had five lines. I was scared to death, but once I was onstage, you couldn't get me off. Something just clicked. It was like, 'Hey, this is pretty terrific!"

"Not very much. Of course, I like all women, but I'm scared about getting too close to home. If you start dating people where you work, well, I just don't think it's a good idea. I have a few girls I see. In college, I ran rampant - dating all the time - I was like a young man lost in a candy store." (Adam Storke talking about dating actresses)

"I have a sister who's 24 and a brother who's 11. My parents are divorced and my dad is remarried. But it's like one big family. There's no separation. My mother was remarried too, and now she's divorced again. They're all great. I always say, "I was brought up by the three strongest women I know - my mother, my stepmother and my sister." They took good care of me. I think my sister has told everyone she knows that I'm on "Search for Tomorrow." (Adam Storke talking about his family)
