I don't know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism. No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace.

I'm a ridiculous sci-fi fan. In fact, I admit it freely; my manager is horrified. I just recently bought seasons two through five of Star Trek: La nueva generación (1987) on DVD. And I've watched all the episodes, half on the plane and a few of them as I was going to sleep last night. There's something about sci-fi that's comforting. [February 2, 2003]

I was in London during my first sci-fi convention for Buffy, cazavampiros (1997) and I was at the local bar, having a drink, writing in my journal, and this woman came up to me and said, "Do you want a drink? I said, "No, thank you. She pushed it a couple of times, and each time I said, "No, really I'm fine. Then she turned really cold, looked at me and said, "Someday these conventions will be your only outlet. I was like, wow, thanks, peace out, OK. [February 2, 2003]

[asked to name her most prized possession:] My cats. Bjorn and Brian Dennehy. They're Abyssinian. They're amazing, they're really like dogs. I actually went to a psychic once, and she said, 'You have two cats.' And I said, 'Yes, I do.' And she said, 'Yeah, there's one in particular, he's brown, he's a deep thinker, that cat.' So every time I see Bjorn staring into the fire, I'm like, 'Are you having deep thoughts, Bjorn?'" [February 2, 2003]

[about her last day on the Buffy, cazavampiros (1997) set:] It was that sense that everything is coming to an end, like high school when you're about to graduate -- you really start taking notice of everyone, and noticing your surroundings. Especially when they start destroying sets that are no longer in use. Like, 'Oh my God, that used to be Xander's apartment, now it's just floors and a wall!' The last day, I really didn't think I was gonna cry at all. But as soon as they said: 'That's a show wrap for Emma Caulfield Ford!', I cried. I cried once, and that was it. I woke up the next morning like, 'OK, what's next?'" [May 21, 2003]

[about the character she played in En la oscuridad (2003)] She's the complete opposite of Anya. She's a sexually repressed, small-town schoolteacher

• with a bombshell body, but you wouldn't know it because she hides it

with layers. It's symptomatic of what's going on in her life. [February 2, 2003]

I don't think I will ever get to play a character like Anya ever again. It was such a cultural phenomenon, and so well written.

[H]aving been on "Buffy" for many years I cannot escape the "bunny thing," it's ridiculous. I think it was maybe four episodes where it was referenced and now I'm synonymous with this bunny. For the record, no, I don't hate them - it was just my character.

My favorite role is not one I did on a show; I played a woman named Oona in a film called Timer, which was released earlier this year [2009]. I loved the character and everything about the film. Of everything I've done, that's the one I'm most proud of.

[on Buffy the Vampire Slayer] That was a period of my life that I am grateful to have had and it helped shape me in many ways. But it's over and anything creative that I had to give I gave it then.

[on her character of Anya in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] Anya was one of the most effortless jobs, but also the most challenging because she had so many layers. I was constantly walking a fine line in order to keep her real and funny.

[on Anya's death in "Chosen," the series finale of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] [Anya's death] was so abrupt and so sad. But I think that it made the whole journey that much more poignant that she did die that way. She didn't get a big maudlin send-off, it was just quick and to the point -- very Anya in that respect.

[on being on set with Sarah Michelle Gellar ] It was obvious that Sarah lacked the support to be the leader she needed and wanted to be. There was a tremendous amount of resentment and animosity [toward her] from a certain someone - and I suppose now we can all guess who.
