I can keep my head together in a crisis.
I don't think I've ever really pursued telling my story, but I think things come to you at the right time.
I've had the joy of working on critically acclaimed shows, but unfortunately, those shows aren't always in the Golden Globe or Emmy categories, which bums me out because they are really good, quality shows.
My ex-husband and I, even though we're not together, we are 100 percent together in raising our kid. We communicate a lot and where I drop the ball and need him to pick it up or vice versa, he's there.
On 'Buffy' I wasn't all that high on the totem pole as far as responsibility and screen time.
Cause I was such a novice and thank God that Sarah was as seasoned as she was because she was really a great leader in that regard in the sense that she would communicate really well with the crew.
I did Playboy for a very specific reason. Not only was it a good financial move, but it was about the place I was at in my life.
The road Cordelia has travelled, the journey she has taken up to now has been such a joy to play as an actress, because there have been so many chances to do so many different emotions.
You can't stand her, but you can't stop watching.
Oh heck yeah, I totally would love to have a Phantom Dennis in real life.
Sure, I'd take the responsibility of queen any day.
This is funny because I just had a job over the summer for VH1, a project I did called Strange Frequency where I got to play a Goth rock band singer.
I wasn't willing to be a victim. I only wanted to survive, and I only wanted to get through.
So I begged, half way into season two, for them to let me cut my hair.
