I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.
I think people are starting to think of me less as an actor and more as a writer.
I don't think anything lives up to what you envisioned.
I think that I have this core group of fans that fell in love with the character I played on Buffy and now they're following me to everything I do. They're very dedicated and loyal. I'm very lucky.
I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
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.
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...
Everybody's been faced with those kind of choices in their life,
Actually, I love mythology. When I was a kid I was obsessed with myth and I wanted to be a mythologist when I grew up. Then I realized I really just like stories.
I wanted to create a heroine that was flawed. I wanted her to be a real person. She's selfish, she's childish, she's immature and because I'm doing a three-book arc I really played that up in the first book. I wanted the reader to be annoyed with her at times.
You were doing a TV show - you don't realise that you're also making social commentary at the same time.
It doesn't matter who you sleep with, it's how you treat other people in this world.
