(Juliet's answer upon getting the question about which time period she would like to visit, if she had the chance)
Juliet: I've always wanted to do a period movie, to do something the turn of the century and I'm really fascinated by that whole time period. It's been really so interesting through Buffy to get to visit some of that. Although I can say that corsets aren't really very comfortable. edit »
(Juliet on the wide range of characters she has done throughout the years)
Juliet: I've been really fortunate in the fact that I've gotten a chance to do a real wide range of all different kinds of characters. Drusilla is amazing, and is such a rich character, and then to go from that and work on a New York Italian character, to get that diversity of roles. That's what makes me tick. I love that I've gotten a chance to do a lot of that. edit »
(Juliet on her parents also being successful actors)
Juliet: I have an action figure, and so do my parents, so it's odd that we all have these dolls of ourselves. It's a little bit surreal but kind of fun. You can play with the whole family. edit »
(Juliet's reaction upon getting the question of why she changed from being a dancer to an actress)
Juliet: I loved dancing. I still use my dance background in the different physicality's of each character I work on. Once I started studying acting, I was energized and excited by the verbal exchange, having a conceptual communication of what was being expressed. As a dancer I was technically very proficient, but for me dancing was always about expressing something more. With acting you add the component of language to the above. edit »
(Juliet on why she likes the many different ways of acting)
Juliet: I like working in both movies and television. Television is faster, not very much rehearsal and a lot of material is shot in a day. Big budget movies are luxurious in terms of the schedule. Independent films often shoot fast as well. edit »
(Juliet on her hobbies)
Juliet: I like to read. I go to movies quite a bit. I often go to see friends in theater productions. I hike, stretch and workout. I like to sing. I love going back to acting class and working on new material. edit »
Juliet: I enjoy working on new, different types of characters. Playing a range is what excites me. The character in Tobe Hooper�s Toolbox Murders couldn�t be more different than Drusilla or Jan/Sarah in La Femme Nikita, or Loretta King in Ed Wood. I�ve never played an attorney and I�d like to do so on a show like The Practice or Law & Order. I�d love to do a large-scale period movie. There are so many things I�d love to do. edit »
(Juliet on working with actor James Marsters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel)
Juliet: We created and built Spike and Dru together. Our first season on the show we rehearsed each episode as we got the script. Through the years, it was continually inventive and surprising working with James. edit »
Juliet: I'm fascinated by people in general and what interests them, what it is that someone connects to or what it is that they're passionate about. So I'm always interested when I meet people in terms of what it is that sparked them about the show or what it is that they were drawn to about it. edit »
(Juliet on working with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel creator Joss Whedon)
Juliet: Often when you're working on a series it starts out one way and then it gets delegated to somebody else. Buffy has never had that feeling because there's always been that clarity. edit »
(Juliet on how dancing is still a big factor in her acting career)
Juliet: I loved dancing. I still use my dance background in the different physicality's of each character I work on. edit »
