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.

More quotes by 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've always been a big fan of books.
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 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
Acting is fantastic, but to be able to create a whole world on celluloid is amazing. It's like taking your dreams straight from your head and projecting them onto a screen.
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
I admit it: I'm a freak who sits obsessively in front of my computer typing my name into Yahoo Search over and over again. I'm a closet Amberholic. Please help me!
Amber Benson
It doesn't matter who you sleep with, it's how you treat other people in this world.
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 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
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
I'm such a geek, I know all about mythology and I don't know Marc Jacobs.
Amber Benson
You were doing a TV show - you don't realise that you're also making social commentary at the same time.
Amber Benson
I always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon: I want to have my own world.
Amber Benson
There's no right way to be female or female-identifying. You can love clothes or you cannot love clothes. You can be a stay-at-home mom or you can have a career. You can do both. You can choose to have kids you can choose to not have kids.
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
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.
Amber Benson
I love sci-fi and fantasy.
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
I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
