Sarah Michelle Gellar
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.Collection: Fitness
I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food.Collection: Food
Normal is such a hard word to use, because everyone's idea of normal is different. Real is what the word is. I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.Collection: Famous
I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel.Collection: Travel
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.Collection: Marriage
Being a teen idol is what I've waited for my whole life.Collection: Teen
I don't want to feel like a failure to my daughter. She's the best thing I've ever done. Buffy - pretty great and all, but Charlotte's way better.Collection: Failure
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.Collection: Morning
The thing about Buffy and Spike is they understand each other on a level that nobody else understands her.
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
As with anything, you need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep the character interesting.
And I don't know what I'd do at a fraternity party. All that might be a little lost on me.
I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.
I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute back and forth.
How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.
Everything I am is because of my mom.
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.
It's a better time for actresses on TV than on film.
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.
Ringer is the perfect balance of what audiences want ot see me do. It's Cruel Intentions meets Buffy.
Buffy's very similar to me to me when I was growing up. A child in an adult world, sort of trapped between the two. Does Buffy go to the prom or does she save the world from demons?
Ultimately you want to do something in life that people will remember. And with Buffy, I did that. I don't feel like I need to achieve something. I just do it because it's fun. And that takes the pressure off.
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.
Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.
It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman.
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.
It's really beautiful. But you know, fancy footwear is a pain!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.
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.
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.
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 don't understand why James Bond has to be a man all the time. When Pierce Brosnan retires, why not one of us?
I actually go to the gym much more now than I did when I was on Buffy. I like to stay fit, because that's when I feel really healthy. But I never worked out for any kind of image. People have said to me, 'Do you starve yourself before photo shoots?' And I always say, 'No way.! That's what airbrushing is for. I had french fries last night.'
Absolutely. It's something I'd eventually love. In the meantime, I just borrow all my friends' kids. It's seriously the best birth control in the world. I'm so tired afterward, I'm like, Okay, maybe in another two years.
I got to see the first step, hear the first word. Most people - and certainly working moms - are not able to do that. I wanted to appreciate the fact that I had worked so hard all my life to be able to have those moments.
You'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.Collection: Graduation
You have to remember once in a while that you can actually stop working and appreciate things.Collection: Appreciate
I believe in myself, and I've always had people behind me who believed in me. With that, you can do anything.Collection: Life
The flashbacks are a great way to give answers to the story.Collection: Giving
I love every minute in the kitchen with my kids, even the mess (I've learned to embrace it!). I find that in the car on the way home from school, I often get one-word answers when I ask about their day. But when we're cooking, I get in-depth stories.Collection: Home
Being outspoken has always gotten me into trouble. I'm just this little thing and then all of a sudden it comes out.Collection: Littles
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.Collection: Growing Up
