I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.

I wouldn't change Buffy for anything and I wouldn't change the course in which she has evolved but it is nice to be able to do something that is a little different.

Well, that's the old story I heard about the Jackie Chan films. That, like, Jackie Chan will just keep going and when crew members drop he just replaces them. I don't know if that's true but after having worked in Japan I believe it might be true.

I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute back and forth.

As with anything, you need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep the character interesting.

How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.

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.

But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.

Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.

I don't smoke, don't drink much, and go to the gym five times a week. I live a healthy lifestyle and feel great. I can run a marathon, you know.

The episodes all blend together for me, so I don't remember. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning. I always feel I must be such a disappointment to them.

The thing about Buffy and Spike is they understand each other on a level that nobody else understands her.

Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father. I don't have a father. I would never give him the credit or acknowledge him as my father.

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.

I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.

And I don't know what I'd do at a fraternity party. All that might be a little lost on me.

I don't understand why James Bond has to be a man all the time. When Pierce Brosnan retires, why not one of us?

I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food.

I think it's a mistake if people just fall in love and think that that's the only thing you need to keep you happy. There's a lot more to being with someone than just love.

You're forced to think about what your goals are and you clarify them because you're taking this journey with another person and you need to be open with your partner.

I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.

Being a teen idol is what I've waited for my whole life.

I also want the chance to work with some of the best actors in the business, because that's where you can learn so much by just being on a set and getting a feel for how they approach their role and how they work with you.

Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.

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.

There's a part of me that will always believe that Angel is Buffy's true love. That there will be a piece of her heart that will always be with him for the rest of her life.

Being an actor gives you a chance to play all kinds of roles, very moving and dramatic on one project, silly and girlish on another. That's the most interesting thing out this business, you get to keep reinventing yourself.

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

In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top.

Everything I am is because of my mom.

Judge of a jest when you have done laughing.

Woman: the peg on which the wit hangs his jest, the preacher his text, the cynic his grouch and the sinner his justification.

The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest.

Never injure a friend, even in jest.

If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.

To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief.

Those who can least bear a jest upon themselves, will be most diverted with one passed on others.

I love no woman, for love is a serious business, not a jest.

Listen closely as those around you speak; great truths are revealed in jest.

The jest loses its point when he who makes it is the first to laugh.

I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.

War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight, the lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade.

Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it.

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.

A lot of truth is said in jest.

I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.

When my mother died, I had to go on air that night and do jokes.

Musician jokes are a kind of joke that usually have to do with how much money someone makes. Musicians are always starving, so they're really mean to each other about who makes what.

Everyone for the most part is really nice. There have always been jokes, but that's part of being in the spotlight. You can't make everyone completely happy.
