I think people are starting to think of me less as an actor and more as a writer.

I think specifically because of the character that I played, people are very connected to her. I used to get letters from young gay and lesbian and trans-gendered kids saying, 'I didn't kill myself because of Buffy'.

I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon: I want to have my own world.

I'm kissing Alyson Hannigan and I almost stuck my tongue in her mouth because we just got so into it at one point.

I'm not a big hijinker. I'm a big sit-in-my-chair-and-read-a-book-er.

For me, I'm constantly writing stuff that is what I'm dealing with on a personal, psychological level. And I think that I bring that to whatever I'm doing, whether it's being an actor or a writer or whatever it is I'm doing. I think you can't help but do that.

Actually, I love mythology. When I was a kid I was obsessed with myth and I wanted to be a mythologist when I grew up. Then I realized I really just like stories.
