[ Angel series] really taught me that acting is not just about being emotionally challenged. It's about being physically challenged. And I enjoyed both aspects of that.

I just don't think [Payne] was the right time to do it, maybe. It was timing, not so much that it was executed wrong.

I'd been doing comedy up that point and hadn't really done a lot of drama, and then all of a sudden he casts me as a 400-year-old vampire from hell. It was, like, "What?!"

I loved everything about that movie [Jawbreaker]. The fashion, the friendship amongst all of us girls... it was great. We had a blast filming it, and it was really wonderful. It was a very special time.

I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.

I loved playing Darla.

So it's nice to know that Rita had that impact, and it was nice to end a character on a high note like that. But, again, in the moment... I always say, nobody was more devastated than me [from Rita's death in Dexter]!
