Personal Quote:

[about Episode 6-19, "Seeing Red," the scene in which Spike tries to rape Buffy:] That was the hardest day of my life. I have turned roles down because they are rapists. It's something I don't even want to watch. If I even click on it on TV, I have to click it off or I'll put my foot through the screen... See more »
