Best quote from the interview: "I love being on a cult hit. You feel less pressure. And you won't get typecast, because you're not 'Rachel from Friends.'... I love this show."

Featured in: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3 and 4, Simply Irresistible, Cruel Intentions, and Angel Season 1.

Featured in: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 and 6, and Harvard Man.

Best quote from the interview: "We're like the most religious show out there! We're more religious than 7th Heaven! We're Greek mythology — we answer the big questions! They just make me laugh so hard. I say, 'Come debate me. I want to see you bring your arguments to my face. Because you will lose — so quickly.'"

Featured in: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6 and 7, and Scooby-Doo.

Featured in: Ringer Season 1.

Best quote from the interview: "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 a lot of pressure off."
