The nomadic lifestyle does work for a lot of working parents, but I've traveled and I've seen it, and I want to be able to go home at night and see my daughter. I want to be there for her first day of school and her school recital. Honestly, television is what offers me that.

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.

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.

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.

Being outspoken has always gotten me into trouble. I'm just this little thing and then all of a sudden it comes out.

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.
