Quotes- "When people first hear my name, because I'm an actress, I get the feeling they don't believe it's my real name or I must be attention-grabbing. It took me until I was 13 to go by my real name."
- "I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher, but stumbled into acting after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego."
- "Lots of doors have opened for me because of Buffy and Angel but, although I'm ambitious, I'm not going to just do anything simply because the money is good. If I can't love a project, then I'm not interested."
- About Sarah Michelle Gellar winning the role of BUFFY: "Initially I was disappointed, but while I didn't see it at the time, I know now I'm better suited to Cordelia. ... Moving from Buffy to Angel was great for me. On Buffy I wasn't all that high on the totem pole as far as responsibility and screen time. That all changed when I joined David [Boreanaz] in Angel. The whole thing has been such a buzz."
- "I'm a mixed breed and hope to live longer because of it."
