Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment.

The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

'Buffy' is about growing up. 'Angel' is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption.

The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing.
