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?

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.

It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman.

Because Buffy really has become the straight man, every once in a while it's nice to be the one that tells the joke and it's nice to be the one that is the joke and it's nice to do something that's a little bit different.
