I designed 'Buffy' to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can't be loved. Because it's about adolescence, which is the most important thing people go through in their development, becoming an adult.

If something isn't working, if you have a story that you've built and it's blocked and you can't figure it out, take your favorite scene, or your very best idea or set-piece, and cut it. It's brutal, but sometimes inevitable.

I love comics, very much, and I love being alone, but I also love the other part. I love actors, and I love filmed entertainment, and that is not something I plan to turn my back on.

Every kid who hated grownups becomes a grownup. Well, except the ones who died.

Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that.

If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would've been like Woodstock.

I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up.
