More quotes by Sarah Michelle Gellar
I was very burned out after Buffy. It was exhausting. It took me from essentially 18 on the pilot to being 24 and married when we finished. That show was my life. I was doing movies on the hiatuses and on weekends, but I needed to explore and live that gypsy lifestyle.

The nomadic lifestyle does work for a lot of working parents, but I've traveled and I've seen it, and I want to be able to go home at night and see my daughter. I want to be there for her first day of school and her school recital. Honestly, television is what offers me that.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
I don't understand why James Bond has to be a man all the time. When Pierce Brosnan retires, why not one of us?
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I think it's a mistake if people just fall in love and think that that's the only thing you need to keep you happy. There's a lot more to being with someone than just love.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
TV has changed so much, from the fact that there are so many channels available now to spoilers. There were no blogs when I was on Buffy. There were no weekly magazines, aside from People. Now, to be able keep your secrets for your show is so hard.

I don't get the whole getting drunk thing.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I'm always the one who gets killed. And I want it to be really gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled!

You need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep [your] character interesting.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
It's been hard to be a show in L.A. and be trendsetting, because the fashions are in New York... Not to mention that most actresses are all, give or take, the same size, between five-two and five-five, and 95 to 125 pounds.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.
