[On her kissing scene with
Selma Blair in Cruel Intentions (1999)]: "It was a great
kiss. It even had a saliva trail."
(on libraries) "I didn't
really used to go there very often but one of my friends said
they also had movies there so I went and they did. I got a
library card and everything. It's so cool 'cause it's like
renting movies...for free (laughter)."
"It's nice to meet
you. Now lets have sex"! -- Sarah
Michelle Gellar
"At first glance, I almost
thought, this isn't a role for me. I don't want to play the
quintessential dumb blonde, the babe in the woods character."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar on her character in I Know What You
Did Last Summer
(about her father) -
"Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father.
I don't have a father. I would never give him the credit or
acknowledge him as my father."
[On Being A Teen Idol] "This
is what I've waited for my whole life."
(Highschool) "My biggest
complaint is school when it's Send-the-roses day, somebody's
always left out. I always got roses, but I would give them
to someone who hadn't gotten any."
(Horror Movies) "I'm
always the one who get's killed. And I want it to be really
gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled! "
[on Ryan Phillippe and Reese
Witherspoon]: "They're unbelievable. They're an inspiration
to young love. "
[on job pressures] There's
so much pressure on all of us right now. On Katie [Holmes],
on James [Van Der Beek], and myself, to do these movies, and
do as much as you can because there is the slight feeling
that one day your phone will stop ringing. It's not about
the craft, per se. It's so easy to fall for it all because
people remind you constantly that as fast as it comes, it
can go. And I think there is this sort of paranoia, this need
to keep working. And I know that I felt it, and for the first
three years of the show, I never had more than a week off,
except for Christmas. That was it.
(On being 'skinny')"
How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers
to work us out. We have specially prepared meals."
[on the Internet] I got a
computer and I'm learning how to use it. I collect antique
books, so I used it to get my copy of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses,'
and I use it for travel, to look up customs. I went to Fiji,
and I looked up all this stuff before I went, like 'Don't
wear a hat in someone's house because it's rude, and don't
wear shoes.' You've got to think there's something better
I can do with my time than log on to the Internet and say,
'Ooo, let's find out about me!' I think that would frighten
me a little bit.
"It makes me think of
women who don't shave their legs." -on what the word
"feminist" means
