| Buffy's Xander and Anya Chat You Up! From antai: If there had been another Buffy season, would you have signed for it? If no, why? Emma: I was just ready to leave the show. I have been on it for four-and-a-half years, and I thought that I had done everything I could possibly do with that character. I'm a firm believer in going out on top. From stacy7121: The audience was always surprised by the writers, but which storyline--through the seven seasons of Buffy--surprised you the most? Why? Emma: I think it was very daring and bold of Joss to do what he did with Willow and Tara. I think that they, as actors, did amazing work with that storyline, and Joss told the story well. I think prime time needed a non-exploitative presentation of that world. From katie666: Which members of the cast will you miss the most? Emma: Well, the castmembers that I was closest to I won't miss, because we're friends, and I'll see them. Alyson Hannigan, Tom Lenk, Tony Head, Eliza Dushku... From BuffyXO: What is up with Anya and the bunny phobia? Emma: I have no idea. I don't think anyone will ever know, which I think makes it all the more brilliant. From UnChosenOne: Say it ain't so! Is my favorite bunny-hating human-obsessed ex-demon really going to...sniff...tear...die?! Emma: Of course, I can't say! I will neither confirm nor deny the reports. From annmarie: Your comic delivery is great! Any chance of you doing a sitcom? Emma: I love, love, love doing comedy, but I don't have any plans to do TV in the immediate future. But I am starting a romantic comedy at the end of July that I am starring in and producing with Steve Pink, who also produced High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank. So, I will be diving back into the comedy world. From shabas: Would you like to work again with Joss Whedon? Emma: In a heartbeat! I can't wait to work with him again From rammyram: Was it super sad shooting the last episode? Emma: It was emotional. It didn't hit me until the very last minute of the shooting day, and then I cried like a baby. From Amy: Which did you like better: 90210 or Buffy? (You are my fave on Buffy!) Emma: Uhhh...Buffy. I had more time invested in Buffy. From poupa: If Anya survives the final battle, is there any chance we'll see you on Angel? Emma: Either way, there is no chance of seeing Anya on Angel. From redsurfer: Which Anya episode are you're proudest of? Emma: Probably "Selfless"--going between the scenes of Anya speaking Swedish and then Anya singing. Then back to Anya present-day being guilt-stricken. It was a lot to play in a very short amount of time. From Sarah: If you could have chosen a guest star for Buffy, who would it have been and what part would they play? Emma: That's a really good question. Probably any of my friends, and they would've played vampires,and I would've staked them. From mouseketeer: Were you happy with what happened to Xander and Anya's relationship, or do you wish they had found their way back to each other? Emma: I think it worked out creatively the best possible way it could have. It would've been sadder for me if I couldn't have worked with Nick again and I stopped having scenes with him. Instead, I got to work with Nick, which was half the fun for me. From Georgia: Is there an episode which didn't include Anya but that you wish had included her? Emma: No, I don't think so. Unless you count the seasons that I wasn't in, because those were so much fun. I'm pretty happy with the time I spent there. From Nancy: How did you find joining an already established cast? Emma: It's always a little intimidating doing that. I did that on 90210, too. But I have to say that I was made to feel welcome on Buffy right from the start. From anonymous: She has been an ex-demon flunking math in high school, to a money-loving bride-to-be, to an apocalypse-dreading Scooby. What's your favorite Anya phase? Emma: It's a tough, tough call. I loved Anya being bad again. The threat of makeup was always present, so I could never fully enjoy the great dialogue and story they were giving me because I so desperately did not want to get back into that makeup! From Joanne: Do you think you'll be able to adjust with a Buffy-less world? Emma: I think I already have. We stopped filming, and I lost all track of time five weeks ago. That's been enough time to adjust to a new life. From Kristin: Okay, you guys. Emma has to go. Emma: I just want to put it out there how grateful I am for all the support that all the fans gave us. Buffy wouldn't be where it's been without you. And certainly Darkness Falls would not have done as well as it did, so thank you for that. Thank you for being fans! |
