I've Been An Actor For 30 Years,

I Remember Reading An Interview That Anthony Hopkins Had Given About How He Developed Hannibal Lecter. He Said He Just Looked In The Mirror And, I Forget Exactly What It Was, But He Looked In The Mirror And Realized That When He Smiled, It Looked Creepy.

We Shot [hi Honey, I'm Home] On Location In Orlando, Florida, So I Was There By Myself. And I Remember I Was Late One Day, And Gale Gordon Pulled Me Aside, And He Said, "honey, When It Says You Have To Be Here At 10 A.m., You Need To Be Here At 9:30." And Ever Since, I've Always Been A Half-hour Early To My Call Time!

I Think [john Larroquette] Did A Great Job. I Really Do. And He's So Wonderful And Generous To Work With.

The Great Thing About Working On A Genre Show Is That You Can Basically Have A Season Finale Where Every Character Is Left Destroyed, And Then Hit The Reset Button And Come Back For The Next Season.

I Had The Prosthetics On, And I Went To My Trailer, I Looked In The Mirror, And I Smiled. And I Was, Like, "this Is The Character - Everything She Does Is With A Smile And A Bit Of Glee And Joy." And That's How I Created Darla [from Buffy The Vampire Slayer]. Prior To That, I Was, Like, "i Have No Idea How To Play This 400-year-old Vampire From Hell!".
