Personal Quotes (3)
[About the cancellation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)] I was a little disappointed. The show was a part of my life for six years, so to have that taken away was kind of a bummer.
It's funny. My real name sounds like a stripper name, too. But, that's what I was given at birth. I always asked my mom why and she would say, "Oh, it's because I really liked it." But I'm convinced it's because they had a Mercedes when I was born and that I was conceived in it.
Everybody tells me I'm better at comedy, so that makes me want to do drama! I think I'm equally as good at both, so now I better prove to people I have chops for drama.
