heroic film standing-out
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
disease soap week
When I got off the soap I got offered all these, you know, 'women in jeopardy' -- I call them 'disease of the week' movies.
thinking vacation japan
I think actually what I'm going to do when I'm done and take my next vacation, is I'm going to go over and start unions in Japan. I'm going to unionize Japan. Because the way they work those crews is so criminal. There's no overtime, so they can just keep going.
able firsts my-family
My family comes first, and you have to be in charge to be able to protect that. You have to be the one who says no or you don't have a life, which is what I found out the first time.
strong character female-role-models
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.
weekend pilots hiatus
I was very burned out after Buffy. It was exhausting. It took me from essentially 18 on the pilot to being 24 and married when we finished. That show was my life. I was doing movies on the hiatuses and on weekends, but I needed to explore and live that gypsy lifestyle.
hygiene meals trainers
How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.
cake pieces eating
Really, how bad is eating a piece of cake? Being bad is murdering someone. That's bad. Don't do that.
home night thinking
I also think it was important for me and Freddie to be able to have a lot of time to share our lives at the beginning of our marriage rather than my coming home at 9 or 10 at night from the set. Things have really worked out for the best for both of us.
people looks soap
People tell me not to do a soap, but it was a great learning experience because I became familiar with the technical aspects of the business. Besides, look who came out of soaps - Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Parker Posey, Kathleen Turner. All amazing people.
wall creativity trying
I try never to say no when it comes to creativity, but I do try and lead down an "appropriate road" - like not on furniture or the walls.
simple benefits kind
I am definitely a Type-A, tidy, everything-has-a-place kind of person, so initially encouraging a mess was against my nature. But once you realize all the benefits, it's pretty simple to let that go.
awards people television
I don't do a television show for awards. You make it so people will enjoy watching it.
people secret magazines
It's changed so much.There were no blogs when I was on Buffy. There were no weekly magazines, aside from People. Now, to be able keep your secrets for your show is so hard.
