More quotes by Julie Benz
You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.
Julie Benz
During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.
Julie Benz
[Dario Argento] would yell at you in Italian, and I'd have no idea what he was saying. I'd just go, Okay!. But it was a really great experience [filming Two Evil Eyes ].
Julie Benz
[Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt] pushed me out of my comfort zone [in Buffy The Vampire Slayer ].
Julie Benz
[Two Evil Eyes] was shot in Pittsburgh, and that's where I was born and raised, so it was really nice to be a part of Pittsburgh film culture.
Julie Benz
[John Larroquette] is very generous as the star of a show. He always made sure that if we had a joke that didn't work or something, he'd fight for the other actors.
Julie Benz
It was a really wonderful experience [at Hi Honey, I'm Home show]. I loved Nick At Nite at the time, and I was obsessed with watching it, so just to meet some of the more experienced stars of the older shows was a real treat and a thrill for me.
Julie Benz
That was one of the reasons I took the role [of Mayor Amanda Rosewater in Defiance] - to be a part of something groundbreaking interested me.
Julie Benz
The meaning of life... I think the meaning of life is, I think it's love.
Julie Benz
I originally read for the roles of Debra and Rita [in Dexter], because they didn't know what direction they were going in, and I worked so hard on Deb, because I just wanted to swear. I wanted to say all those nasty words. That was it: I want to swear on television!.
Julie Benz
It's a moment that I will be asked about for the rest of my life as an actor, and I carry that moment with pride, that Rita [in Dexter] had such an impact and that it was such a gut-wrenching moment for audience members.
Julie Benz
Darla [from Buffy The Vampire Slayer] was where I grew up. For me, Darla was like going to graduate school for acting. I learned so much with Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt. They encouraged us to make creative choices with our characters.
Julie Benz
We shot [Hi Honey, I'm Home] on location in Orlando, Florida, so I was there by myself. And I remember I was late one day, and Gale Gordon pulled me aside, and he said, Honey, when it says you have to be here at 10 a.m., you need to be here at 9:30. And ever since, I've always been a half-hour early to my call time!
Julie Benz
I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.
Julie Benz
I think Sarah Michelle Gellar has done some brilliant work as Buffy.
Julie Benz
I've had a career where I've bounced around a lot between different genres, and I feel very lucky and very blessed that that's happened to me.
Julie Benz
Working with Dario [Argento] was a lot of fun. He's a larger-than-life character, and with an Italian accent.
Julie Benz
There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time.
Julie Benz
I still have people coming up to me, and it was, what, six or seven years ago when that finale aired? And they tell me who they were watching with, what their emotional reaction was, and how they were devastated for weeks about [Rita's death in Dexter].
Julie Benz
Playing Amanda [in Defiance] was a wonderful opportunity for me. She was strong, dynamic, a complete badass, not defined her relationship with a man. She could hold her own. I really loved her.
