I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.

Stay crunchy, even in milk.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!

In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.

Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.

If I kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Don’t just be yourself. Be all of yourselves. Don’t just live. Be that other thing connected to death. Be life. Live all of your life. Understand it, see it, appreciate it. And have fun.

Peace comes from the acceptance of the part of you that can never be at peace.

Angelus: Now that's everything, huh? No weapons... No friends...No hope. Take all that away... and what's left? Buffy: Me.

It’s the great surprise of my life that I ended up loving [my father] so much.

You can’t prepare for the details of every single possible thing that might come your way in the future, because the future is uncertain.

Politics is a word spelled N-O-W.

Take your work seriously but never take yourself seriously and do not take what happens either to yourself or your work seriously.

Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.

You can make people do anything if they're afraid.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, Stay awhile.

Sometimes I think that ideas float through the atmosphere like huge squishy pumpkins, waiting for heads to drop on.

I've always improvised, and stand-up was this great release. All of a sudden, it was just me and the audience.

I couldn’t get the words exactly right; I only remembered wishing that Jacob were my brother so that we could love each other without any confusion or pain.
