A lot of times [in the movie industry], women are relegated to playing the wife or girlfriend or daughter.

There's no such thing as a supermom. We just do the best we can.

I started to watch Damages and all of these amazing, female-driven shows, and it was something that was always in the back of my mind. Then, once I had my daughter, I realized that I was done living the romantic lifestyle, and nothing offers that more than television.

It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman

There's a part of me that will always believe that Angel is Buffy's true love. That there will be a piece of her heart that will always be with him for the rest of her life.

I like to stay fit, because [that's when] I feel really healthy.

I think Buffy was a grown-up. One of the amazing things about the show was that I was able to grow with her. Yes, she started in high school, and then she went to college, and then essentially she was a mother to all the other Slayers, so I always felt like Buffy was a grown-up.
