- James Marsters: (on why her prefers playing villians) When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home...piece of cake.

- James Marsters: I think we are all villians. And like all villains we think we are heroes but to tell you the truth, we all do acts of little evil or big evil all the time. Heroes are very rare but most of us are frankly villians.

- James Marsters: I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school. In Europe they call geeks "smart people", and frankly I think we live in a culture that doesn't value intelligence enough; so I am very proud in saying that I am a geek.
