When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?' Obviously there are differences between men and women - that's what makes it all fun. But we're all people. There's a lot of good writers who are very humanist, but still manage to kind of skip fifty-five per cent of the race. And I just don't get that. Not to be able to write an entire gender? To me, the question isn't how do you do it? It's how can you possibly avoid doing it?

In other news, it's been far too long since I gloated massively about the fact that I know what's going to happen on Buffy and you all don't.

I'm a science fiction geek from birth - that's just who I am.

You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle.

One of my favourite sorts of actors...the rat actor. The rat actor knows his job and gets it done.

The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers.

I think it's not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy.
