More quotes by 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 think people are starting to think of me less as an actor and more as a writer.
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've always been a big fan of books.
Amber Benson
I'm not going to throw up or over-exercise myself into oblivion to look like a model. People tell me, 'You'd work all the time if you just lost twenty pounds.' What am I going to do, cut off my head?!
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
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 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.
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'm not a big hijinker. I'm a big sit-in-my-chair-and-read-a-book-er.
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
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
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
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'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 always said that, when I grow up, I want to be like Joss Whedon: I want to have my own world.
Amber Benson
I love sci-fi and fantasy.
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 don't think anything lives up to what you envisioned.
