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

A lot of times, when you start a show at a young age, you get stuck. You get six years of high school, but I didn't have that.

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

I actually go to the gym much more now than I did when I was on Buffy. 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.'

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

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.

I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute back and forth
