I've been very lucky as far as the things that I've picked, and the way they've worked out. I try to pass on stuff that looks like it's gonna be a bad time.

I had been acting since I was seven years old, but I had a combination of things happen at about the same time. 'Austin Powers' came out on DVD, I got a series regular gig on 'Buffy' and 'Can't Hardly Wait' came out.

Three or four years ago, I got really caught up in the movies people were making, the opportunities they were getting, and I was looking at them with bitterness. As soon as I decided that their career was their career and mine was mine and I would have to serve myself, my attitude changed. I'm as normal as you can be in these circumstances.

After working for 18 years, all of a sudden I became successful on a level where other people knew it. It's not a cat you can put back in the bag.

There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate.

I was four years old when I saw 'Star Wars,' and it has been significantly important throughout my entire life.

Most of all, I loved seeing Princess Leia strangling you at the end of Return of the Jedi.
