Amber Nicole Benson Quotes

• I actually saw a ghost when I was sitting out on the porch of this beautiful house we were staying at in North Carolina. I was doing some writing, and I look up, and I see this woman in white go by, and I thought, ‘That’s weird.’
• I’m not a very serious person at all.
• [on being perceived as “heavy”] I have breasts and hips and I am very happy that they are part of me. I weigh one-hundred eighteen and I am five foot four. If you saw me in real life, you would think I was on the thin side.
• Books are what I escaped to when I was a kid, and books…unless they’re just really piss poor, I get swept up in them and I’m gone.
• I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
• I’m not going to throw up or over-exercise myself into oblivion to look like a model. People tell me, ‘You’d work all the time if you just lost twenty pounds.’ What am I going to do, cut off my head?!
• I admit it: I’m a freak who sits obsessively in front of my computer typing my name into Yahoo Search over and over again. I’m a closet Amberholic. Please help me!
• I started as a dancer when I was a little kid. I realized I didn’t like dancing as much as being onstage and having people clap for me. That’s how I segued into acting, the shortened version.
• I would say if you think you could survive without being an actor – don’t do it. It’s a horrible, painful, wonderful but miserable business.
• I think when I cease to go to the bathroom, then I can call myself famous.
• I’ve never purposely gone out to take somebody out. Well, maybe in elementary school I once did try to trip somebody.
• I’m really klutzy. I’m always tripping over stuff. I’m always trying to not walk into the camera. I was shooting a scene in a TV show and I kept sneezing. Glenn Frey, of Eagles, was opposite me, and when we were filming, he said, “Can we please stop? Amber needs a Kleenex”. That was really embarrassing, and I don’t mind sharing.
• [waxing philosophical about “Tara” not returning to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) in Season 7, so that Azura Skye took the part:] They did approach me about coming back, but because my schedule has been so hectic they were having a hard time working everything out. Then, it turned out that the character was going to be bad and I just didn’t want to do that to the fans. Too many people like her and they’ve already been traumatised by “Tara” getting killed [January 27, 2003].
• [on her movie Chance (2002):] The film was a while in coming. I spent a lot of time in my trailer on “Buffy” because they do so many stunts and CGI effects, so I’d just sit and write. I was tired of playing the love interest roles, but that’s all that’s written for women usually. “Buffy”‘s the exception to that, but those kind of characters are few and far between, so I thought I’d better write one for myself. [Irish News, 27 January 2003]
• [About her role as the lesbian “Tara” on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997):] I got letters from girls saying that I changed their lives and I met people who would cry about it, and that had such an impact on me. You don’t realise what an impact television has on people. But when you get letters from young girls saying, ‘I came out and I have a girlfriend now because of you’, it’s great.
• “I would love to develop my career on both sides of the camera in the way Woody Allen has done down the years.” [Glasgow Evening Times, 22 January 2003].
• If I wasn’t an actress I’d want to be a writer or else find a job where I got to read books and watch movies all day, everyday, for the rest of my life.
