TV has changed so much, from the fact that there are so many channels available now to spoilers. There were no blogs when I was on Buffy. There were no weekly magazines, aside from People. Now, to be able keep your secrets for your show is so hard.

I'm always the one who gets killed. And I want it to be really gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled!

Really, how bad is eating a piece of cake? Being bad is murdering someone. That's bad. Don't do that.

I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.

I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife.

When picking a show, I took into consideration who my fans are. Let's be honest, Buffy was a mid-season replacement on The WB, based on a failed movie. If it wasn't for the outpouring of fans and critics supporting us, we would have been canceled after four episodes. Sure, you want to stretch and you want to do different things, but it's also our job to think about who our fans are and what they want to see. Ultimately, that's why we do.

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