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

There’s a lot more to being with someone than just love.

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

I believe in myself, and I've always had people behind me who believed in me. With that, you can do anything.

You'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.

People tell me not to do a soap, but it was a great learning experience because I became familiar with the technical aspects of the business. Besides, look who came out of soaps - Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Parker Posey, Kathleen Turner. All amazing people.

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.
