One of the best things about humans is we recognize patterns, so we get things like science, music, philosophy. One of the worst things is that we see patterns that are not there so we get things like racism, homophobia and Jerry Falwell.

I don't know if any of us are mature enough to handle the brutal honesty of what's inside other people's heads.

So, I'm going to go over on Angel. Joss is just going to find a way to keep me bleaching my hair, which is fine.

I was uncomfortable with smoking too much because a lot of young kids watch and I didn't want to make that cool.

I patterned the accent after this guy I was in a play with, but that was three years ago. Now I'm listening to Tony Head (Giles in Buffy), who sounds kind of like Spike in real life. It's much more tough-guy talk in real life. His accent (as Giles) is just as fake as mine. His is nice and gritty, but it's not North London. I'm always afraid that I'm morphing over into Tony Head, wherever he's from.

I love anybody who has convictions enough to make mistakes because only people who make mistakes get into enough trouble to be called drama, I think.

Always communicate no matter how hard it is to tell someone something's wrong. It's worse not to talk about it. I learn this every few years. The truth hurts for 3 days. Lack of truth hurts your whole life.
