Shiri Appleby: I'm really happy to be on the UPN.
...
Shiri Appleby: Well, yes, the fans took out an ad. I was incredibly touched and shocked. It made me feel very wonderful and appreciated. But no, The WB did not give me a gift.

Question: Shiri, you are an amazing actress, and I just wanted to know what your favorite episode was and which season you thought was the best.

Shiri Appleby: The pilot was my favorite episode.
...
Shiri Appleby: I made that movie a year ago from this summer. I loved playing the part of Sam, because she was so different from the Liz Parker character.

Shiri Appleby: Yes.

Question: Do you have an official Web site? If not, are you in the process of making one?

Shiri Appleby: I don't have one, and I'm not in the process of making one. But it's not a bad idea.

Question: What kind of music do you like?

Shiri Appleby: Right now I'm listening to Pete Yorn and Dashboard Confessional and Ben Harper and Incubus!
...
Shiri Appleby: That if they're going to be getting into it, they should be doing it for themselves. They need to accept that when they go to auditions, that they aren't being rejected for being them; the people are just looking for something else. And you have to believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.

Question: Do you ever want to do other things in the entertainment biz like direct, write or produce?

Shiri Appleby: I would love to produce. I would love to do all three.

Question: Shiri, do you think of your self as a role model? And if so, do you feel pressured about it?

Shiri Appleby: I don't feel that I'm a role model, but I do know that in some way I'm in the public eye. So I just try to make smart choices, but I don't put any more pressure on myself than if I were in any other job.

Question: How do you manage to keep yourself grounded when everyone seems to want a piece of you or some of your time?

Shiri Appleby: Well, it's not hard to decide who wants to hang out with you for what reason. It's very easy to see through any facade. I have a really good group of people around me that I trust.

TV Guide Online: Thanks, Shiri! Looking forward to tonight's ep! Please come back and talk with us again soon.

Shiri Appleby: Thanks for talking with me today.
