Final thoughts, including some spoilers.
I_love_wicca: My best friend recently became a vegetarian... It's his first Christmas at it. What advice do you give? :)
Amber Benson: It's very hard to stay away from the turkey - every year I want it. But if your family is kind they will prepare lots of vegetables, especially potatoes, and they won't cook them together with the meat.
Buffy: Do you ever get freaked out seeing your face on Buffy merchandising?
Amber Benson: It's very odd. I can't quite get a handle on it. It's very strange when you see your own face looming large. I don't like to watch myself, period.
Euology: I'm a writer myself and I'd like to know what inspires your ideas.
Amber Benson: I truly believe that there is some sort of collective of muses out there. I sometimes sit at my computer and wait for the muses to strike. I also read a lot. Reading and watching good films help too. You have to lead an interesting life.
J: Do you have any brothers or sisters and if so do they get a lot of their friends asking for your autograph?
Amber Benson: I have a sister. I don't think many people know that I'm on Buffy and I'm her sister. I think she thinks being a celebrity is a bit silly. She's really not phased by it. It's always good to have family to dunk your head in the toilet if you start getting a big head.
Angelicdevil1: You play a witch on Buffy, have you ever tried to cast a spell on a guy who broke your heart?
Amber Benson: No I think it's better to stay away from guys who break your heart. You don't need spells or revenge, just stay far away from them.
Tom: How do you feel about all the publicity you have to do?
Amber Benson: It's a lot of fun because I get to meet lots of interesting people who are really nice.
Carlo: Hi Amber, I'm a big fan. I've seen all of your episodes, and I loved how you progressed Tara as a character. Do you ever think about how you could have progressed more if you stayed longer on the show?
Amber Benson: I think she would have become more and more confident. I think her finding her soulmate made her a more confident and secure human being.
Tom: How hard was it to act your death scene with Alyson?
Amber Benson: It was awful. It was not fun. Sarah and I were both crying at the end. It was really terrible. A really close friend of all of us at work had just passed away and it brought all of that back.
Dave: Have you got more comics projects with Tara on the go?
Amber Benson: Chris and I have been so busy with Ghosts of Albion, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ project, that we haven't thought about doing more comics yet, but you never know.
