You need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep [your] character interesting.

Whether it's a big dinner party or people just coming over to hang out, I just love to spend time with them.

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.

When I'm with my kids, I definitely try and be in the moment and wait till the end unless the mess poses a real danger, like slipping. But when I am cooking by myself, I definitely clean as I go to simplify.

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 have to remember once in a while that you can actually stop working and appreciate things.

I don't do a television show for awards. You make it so people will enjoy watching it.
