Life is very short, try everything you've dreamed about (within the perimeters of sanity and the law) and regret nothing. Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen.

I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon: I want to have my own world.

I'm kissing Alyson Hannigan and I almost stuck my tongue in her mouth because we just got so into it at one point.
