The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling.
Even now, so many years after the end of the show, there are still new fans finding their way into Sunnydale. Buffy doesn't care that they're late to the game. She's been waiting for them - and she accepts all of them exactly as they are. Besides, no matter how many times you may have seen an episode, there's no such thing as an expert. I can guarantee there are always new and intriguing things to discover in Buffy; things that you missed somehow on previous viewings.
I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon : I want to have my own world.
Besides, I have the coolest fans in the whole world.
I go, 'Yeah, this is rockin'; I totally dig this,'
Maybe because she's smaller than me she might look taller.
I just really felt like there was a life in it. I just really dug it from the beginning,
Everybody's been faced with those kind of choices in their life,
It's not real. I mean, there are no vampires, there are no witches. Well, there are Wiccans, but they're not making out with Alyson, so...
I can't wait to speak with the filmmaker when he comes,
I do think that if MEN were the ones that bore the children a more effective means of birth control would have been implemented years ago.
