More quotes by Julie Benz
I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.

Working with Dario [Argento] was a lot of fun. He's a larger-than-life character, and with an Italian accent.

Having just read the script [Havenhurst] and then add having seen a ghost, I went to Andrew [Erin], and I was, like, Okay, I have to do this movie. I just have to! I don't know why, but I just have to do it. And I ended up getting the role.

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.

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 actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.
Julie Benz
The fans are just as passionate about the projects as we are about making them.
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.
Julie Benz
The meaning of life... I think the meaning of life is, I think it's love.
Julie Benz
I loved playing Darla.
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
It's very exciting to have fan response and fan reaction.
Julie Benz
I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.
Julie Benz
That's a hard question, because I started skating when I was three, so I don't really remember life before it, and I don't know what it is like not to work hard at something.
Julie Benz
I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband.
Julie Benz
I have so many people come up to me, 20-some years later, and saying, I loved you in Jawbreaker!.
