Alyson Hannigan

YM May 99


YM: Did you at all identify with your American Pie character?

AH:Michelle's the band geek. I was in band in Junior High but it wasn't considered a geeky thing. But I never felt like I fit in at school; Michelle doesn't even realize she doesn't fit in!

YM: How'd Buffy'sWillow shed her geek shell?

AH: For two-and-a-half years she's been best friends with Buffy, who's not the most popular, but definately the coolest. So knowing that Buffy wants to hanf with her is definately a big confidence boost.

YM: Why's Xander into such different types-first Cordy, now Willow?

AH: He's a walking hormone! He just realized, "Oh, Willow's a girl! I can be attracted to her."

YM: So Willow won't ditch Oz for him?

AH: No-Oz is rad.

YM: Who's your type?

AH: Probably a combination: Oz's intelligence and Xander's humor , with Giles' accent thrown in.

YM: Would you ever fall for a geek?

AH: Sign me up-I'm there! I've always had crushes on the awkward guys: they grow up to be the hot ones.
