    • Jane (About haveing a pleasure robot of her own, and who it would look like): Earlier on, I was talking about Davey Jones of The Monkees. Ladies of my age may remember him. That would be nice. Probably, just some movie star that I like I suppose. Boy, the mind just kind of goes in big leaps doesn't it.
    • Jane (About Joss Whedon): Every now and then he'll plant something and he doesn't realise that it's going to pay off later. In Doppelgangland, Willow is observing Evil Willow and she says, "I think she's kind of gay". Joss didn't know that was going to pay off later, that the Willow character in fact was gay but, sure enough, it paid off.
    • Jane: I recently had to wait two and a half hours in a doctor's office, just waiting to be seen. I literally was genuinely thinking "Well, maybe this is a time loop", because nothing seemed to be happening, no progress of any kind seemed to be being made, so I think we've all fallen into those time loops.
