The Quotes:
"I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher, but stumbled into acting
after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego."

"Lots of doors have opened for me because of Buffy and Angel but, although
I'm ambitious, I'm not going to just do anything simply because the money is good.
If I can't love a project, then I'm not interested."

"I'm a mixed breed and hope to live longer because of it."

"I don't really see myself being a sex symbol at all."

"I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and
not really any one thing or an outcome or a result. I think it's kinda
the process and I think that if you can find happiness in the process
then maybe that's it. I just feel really in love with life and the life I've
created with my family. So it works for me."

"I was a little turned off by the idea of doing another bitch.
But my agent put it to me quite frankly, that you have to be known
before you can be typecast." (On her role as Cordelia)

"My mom owned a retail store, so I had these hot satin pants.
I was like Satan at my all-Christian school."

Aww I LOVE your icon.

Lemariz · 12-25-2010, 10:47 AM

I love your icon too. That's one of my favorite scenes

~MelBelle~ · 12-25-2010, 05:46 PM

Mine too, both of our icons are on my fav scenes list.

your icon is my favorite hug.

Lemariz · 12-26-2010, 02:29 PM

Aww that hug was so cute

My favorite is the one from YW. My heart melts everytime I see that touching embrace, how he holds her tight because he's so happy to see her again

~MelBelle~ · 12-26-2010, 05:16 PM

^I agree that hug was absolute heartmelting, but I love that hug because it was like friend just went on a long trip without sending any notice because they were busy with something but you knew they would be back and when they finally do it's proof and, there were no words just boom HUG! I don't know I can't really explain it.

Lemariz · 12-27-2010, 06:57 PM

Yeah I understand what you're saying

It was a very sweet scene

Btw, I love that scene in your icon because it's the scene that made a Cangel fan, I had an epiphany too

I was like, Awwww Angel is soooo cute with Cordy, I love these two!

I still didn't believe that a romance was possible though.

~MelBelle~ · 12-28-2010, 01:09 AM

aww that's awesome.

It's such a sweet scene throughout the entire time Angel wasn't with them Cordy kept falling down, even though Gunn and Wes loved her, they still were never quick enough and then Boom Angel was right there.
