I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon : I want to have my own world.
Acting is fantastic, but to be able to create a whole world on celluloid is amazing. It’s like taking your dreams straight from your head and projecting them onto a screen.
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.
I admit it: I’m a freak who sits obsessively in front of my computer typing my name into Yahoo Search over and over again. I’m a closet Amberholic. Please help me!
I love sci-fi and fantasy.
I’ve always been a big fan of books.
Willow: Hey, clothes. Tara: Better not get used to ’em.
Yeah, I’m a geek. I read sci-fi and I watch sci-fi films. I love my computer and I love to fix it. I’m a total nerd. I literally am a 12-year-old geeky boy trapped in a 32-year-old woman’s body.
If I wasn’t an actress I’d want to be a writer or else find a job where I got to read books and watch movies all day, everyday, for the rest of my life.
There is so much more to this world then outward appearances. Our society basks in the illusion of normalcy every day, and hides from the truth every night.
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’m such a geek, I know all about mythology and I don’t know Marc Jacobs.
I don’t think anything lives up to what you envisioned.
I’m kissing Alyson Hannigan and I almost stuck my tongue in her mouth because we just got so into it at one point.
I wouldn’t want to forget anything, even the weird stuff and the bad stuff. It makes you who you are.
It doesn’t matter who you sleep with, it’s how you treat other people in this world.
I think people are starting to think of me less as an actor and more as a writer.
You were doing a TV show – you don’t realise that you’re also making social commentary at the same time.
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.
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 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.
