tvs used shows
It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman
dog married funny-travel
I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel.
idols whole-life whole
Being a teen idol is what I've waited for my whole life
daughter mind female
I started to watch Damages and all of these amazing, female-driven shows, and it was something that was always in the back of my mind. Then, once I had my daughter, I realized that I was done living the romantic lifestyle, and nothing offers that more than television.
careers interesting want
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work
growing-up responsibility thinking
I think that's what growing up is all about. It's about taking on new responsibilities and learning what you can handle, and learning what you can't.
thinking vacation television
I think that this industry in particular is so fast-paced that you keep saying, 'I'll take vacation later.' Sometimes later never comes. I'm definitely leading a much slower life now that I'm not working every single day on a television series.

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.
