I got to see the first step, hear the first word.
Most people - and certainly working moms - are not able to do that. I wanted to appreciate the fact that I had worked so hard all my life to be able to have those moments.
-
Everything I am is because of my mom.
-
I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel.
-
I don't want to feel like a failure to my daughter.
She's the best thing I've ever done. Buffy - pretty great and all, but Charlotte's way better.
-
It's a better time for actresses on TV than on film.
-
Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father.
I don't have a father. I would never give him the credit or acknowledge him as my father.
-
I think that this industry in particular is so fast-paced that you keep saying, 'I'll take vacation later.' Sometimes later never comes. I'm definitely leading a much slower life now that I'm not working every single day on a television series.
-
My family comes first, and you have to be in charge to be able to protect that.
You have to be the one who says no or you don't have a life, which is what I found out the first time.
-
When you've played Buffy - who's such a strong female role model - it's really hard for another female character to compare to her.
-
Being a teen idol is what I've waited for my whole life.
-
How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out.
We have specially prepared meals.
-
Ultimately you want to do something in life that people will remember.
And with Buffy, I did that. I don't feel like I need to achieve something. I just do it because it's fun. And that takes the pressure off.
-
It's really beautiful. But you know, fancy footwear is a pain!
-
Buffy's very similar to me to me when I was growing up.
A child in an adult world, sort of trapped between the two. Does Buffy go to the prom or does she save the world from demons?
-
Normal is such a hard word to use, because everyone's idea of normal is different. Real is what the word is. I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.
-
Ringer is the perfect balance of what audiences want ot see me do.
It's Cruel Intentions meets Buffy.
-
Absolutely. It's something I'd eventually love. In the meantime, I just borrow all my friends' kids. It's seriously the best birth control in the world. I'm so tired afterward, I'm like, Okay, maybe in another two years.
-
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.'
