Quote
1 [on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”] – It just gets bigger each year. It’s really exciting how much it penetrated this public consciousness in a way. People teach courses about it and there are Joss Whedon courses in universities. People write their dissertations on it. It’s incredibly flattering and I’m really honored just to have been a part of it. It’s very exciting.
2 Only on Buffy can you get killed and do three more episodes. [June 11, 2003]
