About action figure of Willow:
Oh look, they gave me boobs!
About ending Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
We've known for a while even though nothing has been said. I think everybody is pretty much feeling it was a good run and it's time to go.
About filming How I Met Your Mother:
I miss the intensity and drama of Buffy, but feel lucky to be on a set where all day long we just make each other laugh.
Alyson on being nervous with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer lines that were in Latin:
I had butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why I was so nervous-maybe because I don't know how to pronounce half the lines I have to say today. They're in some made-up language.
Alyson on being presumed dead:
There was a rumor that I was dead. I happened to be off work that day and I had a beeper and the batteries had died so I was just shopping and looking round book stores. People were frantically trying to get in touch with me and people were calling hospitals and the news, people were calling my agent trying to see if it was true, and I got home and my voice mail was filled with people going, "Call me if you're ok" - and I was completely oblivious.
Alyson on filming an Angel episode with husband Alexis Denisof:
It was great for a change to share a week's work, rather than being on different projects. With the hours Alexis and I spend on set you can tend to pass like ships in the night. Weekends, however, are great because we can share precious time together. But when we're at home, I promise you, we certainly don't talk about vampires or suck each other's blood for tea.
Alyson on her time on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
It's been the most amazing and signigicant job of my life, obviously, and I'll always have it near to me heart.
Alyson talking about her fans): It's great that they're devoted. But, it makes you a little paranoid too, wondering how they're gonna interpret every little thing you do.
On London:
It's like walking around a history book. You have all these beautiful buildings that were built before 1980.
On shooting the kiss scene with Amber Benson:
After one take Joss did say, "Can we have one that's less like you're going to sleep together in about five minutes?"
On the varying times of "blossoming" for individuals:
Nerds are far more interesting human in later life.
On her role as the witch "Willow", crossing over from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) to act in the episode "Orpheus" on the series "Angel" (1999), where her fiancé, Alexis Denisof, is a regular:
I finally get to spend a day with my honey, so that's really nervous coming in. I had butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why I was so nervous -- maybe because I don't know how to pronounce half the lines I have to say today. They're in some made-up language".
On playing the season 4, episode 15, role of "Willow" as a crossover on "Angel" (1999) June 4, 2003:
It was great for a change to share a week's work, rather than being on different projects. With the hours Alexis and I spend on set, you can tend to pass like ships in the night. Weekends, however, are great because we can share precious time together. But when we're at home, I promise you, we certainly don't talk about vampires or suck each other's blood for tea
I know quickly whether a guy is boyfriend material. If I can have a good time doing absolutely nothing with him, then that's boyfriend material for me. Like if we're able to have fun at a gas station. I've had some really good times at gas stations.
I love this profession, but God, it can just destroy people, and I don't want that to happen and become some monster.
I want to stay true to who I am by trying to be in the moment.
My husband, Alexis, is my favorite souvenir from my time working on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. We should've gotten married after the first date - I mean, we knew then.
There should be a law that there's a pajama day every few weeks.
There's a very wild side to me, but it's calming down.
This is what I always wanted to do in my entire life, so I am not going to sit here and complain that it is so terrible to be in successful movies, because it becomes a trilogy!
When I got to L.A., I would walk around with my head held high, just waiting to be discovered.
You need to suffer to be interesting.
