There's always something about home that's special.

I don't do a television show for awards. You make it so people will enjoy watching it.

When I'm with my kids, I definitely try and be in the moment and wait till the end unless the mess poses a real danger, like slipping. But when I am cooking by myself, I definitely clean as I go to simplify.

It's a terrible process, what you go through, during pilot season. All the shows turn themselves in and there is a good four to six weeks before you get phone call.

All joking aside, I'm a television watcher and I get frustrated with shows sometimes when they set up puzzles and then they don't give answers. It's just more questions and more questions.

I would tell any actress that the trick is to play all the female characters on your show, and then all the men are yours.

How many times, in any actor's life, do you get to be a part of something that has a legacy like [Buffy]? I think that's only fortunate. I don't see the negative.

A lot of times, when you start a show at a young age, you get stuck. You get six years of high school, but I didn't have that.

I am definitely a Type-A, tidy, everything-has-a-place kind of person, so initially encouraging a mess was against my nature. But once you realize all the benefits, it's pretty simple to let that go.

I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.

Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.

How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.

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.

When I got off the soap I got offered all these, you know, 'women in jeopardy' -- I call them 'disease of the week' movies.

I clip coupons all the time. Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?

Buffys 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?

I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel.

I don't get the whole getting drunk thing.

I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.

I don't understand why James Bond has to be a man all the time. When Pierce Brosnan retires, why not one of us?

There’s a lot more to being with someone than just love.

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

Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work

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.
