I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up. The fun is not that much different from doing a television show: You're stuck with a certain set of rules, and then, rather than trying to break them, it's just trying to peel away and see what's underneath them. That to me is really fun.

I always tend to think just left of center, to remove myself from the world by one step. It is very freeing, and it's a particular way of coming at stories and looking at them that I find the most beautiful stuff that I know comes from, ultimately.

Buffy' is about growing up. 'Angel' is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption.

I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw.

I'm dying to do something sci-fi! I would love to be on a spaceship and firing a laser gun! Something like that would be really awesome. Or something with dinosaurs. Or preferably both at once.

Life will end in death and unhappiness, but we do it anyway.

We want our idols to be dead because it makes death a much less scary place.

I like things that are just about to go. Everything's leaving. Death is never far away from me. When you make something, death can't help but be in it.
