And I'm Not Very Coordinated, Either. Only

I Had The Prosthetics On, And I Went To My Trailer, I Looked In The Mirror, And I Smiled. And I Was, Like, "this Is The Character - Everything She Does Is With A Smile And A Bit Of Glee And Joy." And That's How I Created Darla [from Buffy The Vampire Slayer]. Prior To That, I Was, Like, "i Have No Idea How To Play This 400-year-old Vampire From Hell!".

I Read The Script [havenhurst] And I Went To Bed, But I Woke Up Because Somebody Had Knocked On My Door. Or At Least It Seemed Like Somebody Knocked On My Door At, Like, 4 In The Morning.

I Love Being Challenged Physically, As An Actress.

I Went In For An Audition [for As Good As It Gets], But The Audition Was With James L. Brooks. I Was The First Girl In That Morning, And There Was A Whole Waiting Room Of Girls Waiting To Read For It. So I Did My Audition, And He Asked Me To Step Outside. So I Stepped Outside, And When He Asked Me To Come Back In, He Looked At Me, And He Said, "well, I'm Very Excited To Work With You On Set." And I Was, Like, "what?" I Thought It Was A Hollywood Blow-off.

I Was Sent The Script [of Havenhurst ], And I Was Out Of Town At The Time, So I Did A Site Meeting With Andrew [erin]. It Was So Bizarre. I Was Staying In A Hotel At The Time, And The Night Before The Meeting With Andrew, I Learned There Was A Ghost In The Hotel.
