When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake.
Joss didn't even think he could play the piano, then he would sit down and lay waste to every song around him and it's like 'I'm not crying...'
Tough guy Spike was always the funnest, but I'm most proud of the more recent stuff, the last season, I think.
Forties are good! I'm thinking with my brain now, which is a lot more clear, and women seem to appreciate that. It's a wonderful decade where you're in control of yourself but the women are still interested.
Yes, we were looking for a Faith spin-off, but then Faith backed down. Eliza got a really wonderful offer over on Fox in a show, and, for reasons I didn't talk to her about, she decided to go there, and everyone respects that.
It was a lot harder, but I think we got something that was maybe fresher than just watching somebody strut around and bite people.
Anne Rice really doesn't explore vampires as hideous monsters of the night, they're ancient creatures with a heart. And they want to be loved and they want connections just like we do.
Speed Racer is good to cut your teeth on, but if anyone has not seen Akira, go get it.
'Dragonball' is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years.

I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school.
I like the 'Science Channel,' the 'Discovery Channel,' I like 'Discovery Times,' which is a fabulous hybrid of the 'New York Times' and 'Discovery Channel.' Maybe I'm just an old man, but I like to watch that stuff.
Chekov man, it's all the same thing. Chekov and Buffy the vampire slayer - it's all about beautiful losers
I love to work. When I was a kid, I would invite my friends over to play, then I would take them over to a recycling plant and we would haul glass all day. They hated me for this, but I thought it was fun.
