If I wasn't an actress I'd want to be a writer or else find a job where I got to read books and watch movies all day, everyday, for the rest of my life.

More quotes by Amber Benson
I'm not a big hijinker. I'm a big sit-in-my-chair-and-read-a-book-er.
Amber Benson
I am in an extended self-directed course of study. That is, I am in control of my own life.
Amber Benson
I wouldn't want to forget anything, even the weird stuff and the bad stuff. It makes you who you are.
Amber Benson
I don't think anything lives up to what you envisioned.
Amber Benson
I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.
Amber Benson
I think specifically because of the character that I played, people are very connected to her. I used to get letters from young gay and lesbian and trans-gendered kids saying, 'I didn't kill myself because of Buffy'.
Amber Benson
I wanted to create a heroine that was flawed. I wanted her to be a real person. She's selfish, she's childish, she's immature and because I'm doing a three-book arc I really played that up in the first book. I wanted the reader to be annoyed with her at times.
Amber Benson
I'm kissing Alyson Hannigan and I almost stuck my tongue in her mouth because we just got so into it at one point.
Amber Benson
The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling.
Amber Benson
Life is short, and I'd rather be sitting in the poor house doing what I love doing than making a lot of money and being miserable. Life is very short.
Amber Benson
I'm such a geek, I know all about mythology and I don't know Marc Jacobs.
Amber Benson
It doesn't matter who you sleep with, it's how you treat other people in this world.
Amber Benson
It's all about what you feel on the inside - and I'm feeling like a chocolate chip cookie because I had about ten of them last night!
Amber Benson
There is so much more to this world then outward appearances. Our society basks in the illusion of normalcy every day, and hides from the truth every night.
Amber Benson
Actually, I love mythology. When I was a kid I was obsessed with myth and I wanted to be a mythologist when I grew up. Then I realized I really just like stories.
Amber Benson
For me, I'm constantly writing stuff that is what I'm dealing with on a personal, psychological level. And I think that I bring that to whatever I'm doing, whether it's being an actor or a writer or whatever it is I'm doing. I think you can't help but do that.
Amber Benson
It was interesting to have humanoid villains that were rooted in our three-dimensional reality... or four dimensional reality, I'm not sure which!
Amber Benson
Willow: Hey, clothes. Tara: Better not get used to 'em.
Amber Benson
Yeah, I'm a geek. I read sci-fi and I watch sci-fi films. I love my computer and I love to fix it. I'm a total nerd. I literally am a 12-year-old geeky boy trapped in a 32-year-old woman's body.
Amber Benson
I think that I have this core group of fans that fell in love with the character I played on Buffy and now they're following me to everything I do. They're very dedicated and loyal. I'm very lucky.
