Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- (on comparisons between Dena of "Samantha Who?" and Sookie of "Gilmore Girls") Melissa: At first I was afraid they were going to be pretty similar because they're both pretty bubbly and kind of high-energy. But the more I get into Samantha Who? I think it's the possibilities of Dena that make them very different.
  Edit Share Hide
- (on wishing to be 20 again) Melissa: If you really think about it, those were hard years. To learn everything through the process of failing certain things, that wasn't all fun! Maybe you want to go back and have key moments.
  Edit Share Hide
- (on the relationship between her character Dena and Sam in "Samantha Who?") Melissa: You have those friends that you were so close with all through grade school and really have a history with them. That stuff still counts, and I think that's what gives them their nice relationship.
