You're always homesick. There's always something about home that's special. But I'm not a things person. I'm not attached to my things.

I love every minute in the kitchen with my kids, even the mess (I've learned to embrace it!). I find that in the car on the way home from school, I often get one-word answers when I ask about their day. But when we're cooking, I get in-depth stories.

How many times, in any actor's life, do you get to be a part of something that has a legacy like [Buffy]? I think that's only fortunate. I don't see the negative.

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

I like to stay fit, because [that's when] I feel really healthy. But I never worked out for any kind of image. People have said to me, "Do you starve yourself before photo shoots?" And I always say, "No way.! That's what airbrushing is for. I had french fries last night."

I think I lead a really real life.

If you love someone and you choose to spend the rest of your life with that person, that's your partner in every way.
