Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Nicholas Brendon: One night I went out into the backyard and I was talking to God - asking for directions - and acting was the answer I got. That was pretty terrifying, because I was not a confident kid. I had a stutter. I had ears that stuck out and acne. I was definitely not cut out for acting. But I decided to chance it.
-
Nicholas Brendon: Buffy requires a certain level of devotion. It's amazing how committed people are to it. I recently met someone who was completely obsessed with it, and he kept referring to things that had happened on the show that I wasn't even aware of.
-
Nicholas Brendon: Acting in front of an audience is amazing - you get an energy from the audience that's just like theater.
-
Nicholas: I love being in the kitchen. It's kind of artistic for me. I definitely enhance and make things up. I'll open up a recipe book and say, "Oh, let's try that and alter it."
-
Nicholas Brendon: I want people to say, "Nicholas Brendon, he's supposedly the nicest guy in the world." I want to do good work, but more than that, I want to stay a good human being. That's more important than any character I play.
