Buffy The Magazine: So you don't drive, right? How do you get anywhere?
Amber Benson: I can physically drive. I just don't have a permit or a license. Even if I did have a license, I'd still have to get dropped off, because we only have one car.

BTM: Have you ever just driven anyway?
AB: My sister and I took the car once and went around the block. That was real exciting. We were bored, so we went around the block once. Woo-hoo. Our big law breaking.

BTM: We better not print that.
AB: Yeah. We don’t want the police coming over. I used to go around lying to people. I had this one guy at Universal going for about an hour. I'm like, "Yeah, I got in trouble -- I was drinking, and I was going really fast, and they took my license away from drunk driving and endangerment of human life." The guy's like, "Oh my God. Really?" Finally, I'm like, "I'm a big liar. I just never got it." So I always ask people now if they want the truth or the lies.

BTM: We always prefer the lies.
AB: The lies are much more fun and interesting.

BTM: Where do you sit when you go to the movies?
AB: I always try to get in the middle. Not in the middle of the theater, but the middle of the row. I count the chairs.

BTM: What do you get for snacks?
AB: I drink more than I eat. That's my big downfall. I have to get a large Dr. Pepper or Coca-Cola. I'm not big on eating during movies, because the popcorn gets in your teeth, and candy sticks to your upper palate.

BTM: Have you ever had a bathroom problem, like during Titanic, where you regretted getting the large soda?
AB: Actually, I did go to the bathroom during Titanic, and I didn't regret it. I think I missed Leonardo DiCaprio drowning. Darn. I don't think there was anything that I was upset I missed, because you can rent later. It's always better to go to the bathroom than to sit there with truck-drivers' bladder.

BTM: "Truck-drivers' bladder"? What's that?
AB: I may be totally wrong. I heard that truck drivers on these long hauls, they never go to the bathroom, and they stretch their bladder out of shape.

BTM: You're kidding.
AB: No. I don't know, maybe I am. Someone told me that. If you wait too long, you can actually damage your bladder. This is going to be an interesting one, isn't it?

BTM: Great article. Good copy.
AB: Truck-drivers' bladder. Oh God.

BTM: If you could have one super power, what would it be?
AB: I'd like to fly. It's pretty benign on the grand scale of superpowers, but you can't really hurt anybody, except maybe freaking them out over Iowa. Or the ability to amass a large collection of CDs without paying for them. I think that would be a very nice superpower.

BTM: Who's your favorite Stooge? Moe, Larry or Curly? Or Joe? Or Shemp?
AB: You've gotta like Moe, because he's so sad.

BTM: He is the saddest Stooge. What's your favorite childhood memory?
AB: Probably my favorite childhood memory is finding out I was getting a sister.

BTM: What's the capital of New York?
AB: I know -- Albany.

BTM: A lot of people say New York City.
AB: No, it's Albany. Ask me another one. I remember this from fourth grade.
