Personal quotes

"It was great for a change to share a week's work, rather than being on different projects. With the hours Alexis and I spend on set, you can tend to pass like ships in the night. Weekends, however, are great because we can share precious time together. But when we're at home, I promise you, we certainly don't talk about vampires or suck each other's blood for tea". [On playing the season 4, episode 15, role of Willow as a crossover on _"Angel" (1999/I)_ June 4, 2003]

[on her role as the witch Willow, crossing over from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) to act in the episode "Orpheus" on the series "Angel," where fiancé Alexis Denisof is a regular:] "I finally get to spend a day with my honey, so that's really nervous coming in. I had butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why I was so nervous -- maybe because I don't know how to pronounce half the lines I have to say today. They're in some made-up language."

"It's like walking around a history book. You have all these beautiful buildings that were built before 1980." - on London
