More quotes by Sarah Michelle Gellar
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work
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.
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.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I also think it was important for me and Freddie to be able to have a lot of time to share our lives at the beginning of our marriage rather than my coming home at 9 or 10 at night from the set. Things have really worked out for the best for both of us.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
You'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I think actually what I'm going to do when I'm done and take my next vacation, is I'm going to go over and start unions in Japan. I'm going to unionize Japan. Because the way they work those crews is so criminal. There's no overtime, so they can just keep going.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I think that's what growing up is all about. It's about taking on new responsibilities and learning what you can handle, and learning what you can't.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I've always been fascinated by Japanese culture.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
People always tell me how lucky I am that my kids are adventurous eaters, but I don't believe that it's luck at all. By my involving them in the process, not only are they more likely to try something new, but also I can count on them to make better choices when I'm not around.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I'm not a things person. I'm not attached to my things.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I also want the chance to work with some of the best actors in the business, because that's where you can learn so much by just being on a set and getting a feel for how they approach their role and how they work with you
Sarah Michelle Gellar
In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top
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
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
A lot of times, when you start a show at a young age, you get stuck. You get six years of high school, but I didn't have that.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Being an actor gives you a chance to play all kinds of roles, very moving and dramatic on one project, silly and girlish on another. That's the most interesting thing out this business, you get to keep reinventing yourself.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I would tell any actress that the trick is to play all the female characters on your show, and then all the men are yours.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
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.
