'Oh yeah, I am a really huge fan! I'm like Little Miss Buffy encyclopedia.'

'I love acting, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.'

Week 33 - 24/04/04 - 02/05/04

'But I have always been the girl. I think it is because I wear the stiletto shoes and the pointy heels and the tighter jeans. I don't think guys can get into stilettos and low riders. Or they shouldn't anyway.'

'I'm doing a lot of my own skating, but the triple axles, I'm obviously not required to do, because that takes years of training.'

'I want to go back to movies. Working on Buffy was really, really fun and an amazing opportunity for me because… erm, let me catch my breath for a minute.'

'It's smellementary! And, um, I'm sure there's tons of stuff like this, you know, procedures we can use that don't involve magic spells, just good solid detective work. And we could develop a database of tooth impressions, demon skin samples... and I could wear high heels more often!'

'The only tantrum I have ever thrown was when I watched an annoying girl doing a Barbie commercial on TV, and I screamed Mommy, I can do that better!'

'I've gotten many, many injuries! I'm black and blue everywhere; I've fallen... torn ligaments in my ankles. No one can say I haven't suffered for my art!'

'Celeste is a combination of all the rumors you've ever heard about Britney, Christina and J. Lo all rolled into one. She's just a bitchy little diva!'

'I'm sure that in some way, shape or form Buffy will be continued through the fans, because we do have such devoted fans and that's always been very sweet.'

'My confidence comes from me, Michelle, as a person. I don't necessarily believe that I will act and be a lead forever, but I want to continue to act for a long time. I love to do what I do.'

'And I am really comfortable in this world. I love acting. I love the entertainment business... I wouldn't trade it for anything.'

'I play Joe's best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger.'

'I'm like, great, I get to be all covered up now. Nooooo skating skirts are, like, up and flippy!'

'What makes it so beautiful is that you don’t need to be anything but heartfelt and that is the most important thing that I wanted to bring to my character…'

'So what’s on-screen is real emotion... even if you haven't experienced pain in your life, these characters have. And to me, every character I play is a real person.'

Week 51 - 07/01/05 - 15/01/05

'I just want girls to know how important it is to believe in themselves... when I believe, so much more happens.'

'I am always going to try to be who I am. I just have to believe.'

'I thought it was a really good, inspiring story. An ice-skating movie hadn’t been done in a long, long time. I also knew what a passion people have for ice skating. I loved it when I was a little girl.'

'I was a rather outspoken three-year-old. I saw a commercial where a little girl was brushing Barbie's hair and I said, that's what I want... I want to brush Barbie's hair!'

'I love shopping. I know it might sound vain but I just love it! There's a new Marc Jacobs store opening in Los Angeles and my boyfriend and mom said they're going to supply the store with my photo and say please don't let this girl inside.'

'I value my fans so much, they're awesome.'

'And Michelle just nailed the part so perfectly. Her chemistry with Joe is dead on. Michelle is it—and the camera, of course, absolutely worships her.'

'I really think it is one of the most beautiful depictions of the human heart.'

'I want you to leave the theatre not necessarily being like, "Oh my god Michelle rocked!" I want you to leave the theatre saying, "Holy shit! That was intense and insane, and it was amazing." I want people talking.'

'It's a major departure from anything I've ever done. After you do a project, you get sent a ton of scripts that are exactly like that character. Gregg took a huge chance on me, and I appreciate it so much because he saw me outside the kitschy Buffy box.'

'You know, one of the first times I went bowling with my boyfriend, I totally hit the gutter, and he's like, 'It's okay, honey, at least you look pretty.'

'That, to me, is awesome, and I thank those other actors because it helps those of us who are still out there as well.'

'Like Carrie, I feel that everyone, no matter how confident, is somewhat insecure. I like to view myself as a confident person with a whole bunch of insecurities because that's what makes me real.'

'I'm redoing the bathrooms, so it's been a big headache picking out new toilets and sinks and fixtures. I'm excited about it. It's been a lot of fun.'

'If we end up working together, then that's cool. If not, that's cool too, but right now we are just happy to be together.'

'I feel like every character I play is just a small part of my personality, but just heightened and taken to sort of an extreme.'

'She was just a great lady and she actually complimented me on my work, which I was like, 'Ok you're Jodie Foster! You don't have to say anything. You're amazing!' She was really cool and I was like, 'I love Taxi Driver!''

'I have a lot of confidence to do what I do in this business but, of course, I have insecurities. I just don't let myself obsess on them or show them to the world. I let my confidence shine through.'

'I just want girls to know how important it is to believe in themselves... when I believe, so much more happens.'

'I definitely follow my heart more than my head and deal with the repercussions afterward! I'm a very a passionate person — it just comes from the heart. If you don't follow your heart, you're stuck with a lot of boring black and white.'

'I feel that everyone, no matter how confident, is somewhat insecure. I like to view myself as a confident person with a whole bunch of insecurities because that's what makes me real.'

'...I think the creative process is fascinating. And as long as I can be involved on the backgrounds and all...then I can really sink my teeth into making everyone really love what I do a really heartfelt project.'

'I think the reason I've been able to have some longevity and not been splattered across US Weekly is my mom, mostly. She's quite a prominent force in my life, and we're very, very close. I'm so grateful to her because, when I was three years old, she said, 'I'm going to let my daughter follow her dreams.''

'I was sent out for my first audition, and I got my first commercial and have been acting ever since. I never had a stage mom, and I think that's why I have longevity and am still doing it: It was always my dream and my passion. The second you stop having fun and stop loving it, you should get out of the business.'

'And I'm like okay so which bags can I keep after the shoot? What all of them? Okay!' (on Dooney & Bourke)

'I guess I'm a little schizophrenic in my choices. I feel that in order to truly be an actor, you have to differentiate yourself and your roles, and you have to constantly challenge yourself. I'm not interested in just doing glitzy movie after glitzy movie and being on the cover of Us Weekly every day (or every week-- whatever, right?). That's not something that's appealing to me.'

'Hugh Laurie. My boyfriend knows I am obsessed with House. It's the best show over. I'm literally petitioning to be on it.' - on who is her celeb crush

'Ever since I was little, my mom always taught me to believe in myself. So anytime that I get too depressed or sad or think I can't handle something, I stop and think, no, I know that I can accomplish this.'

'Candie's girls are sexy, young, fun, super stylish and smart, because when you wear Candie's you know you look good.'

'In real life I'm not always nice, and that's a reality people have to face. I'm mostly a really happy person, but all the characters I've played are a small percentage of my personality insanely heightened.'

'I do like scary movies. I'm so the person that ruins the experience for everyone, I'm screaming, I'm covering my eyes, I'm like 'What's happening, tell me?' We all like to be afraid.'

'I'll be on set for five hours, and I'll come back to my trailer and flip open my phone and it'll say, I love you honey, just thinking about you. That is the best feeling in the whole wide world.'

'Even though I am very opinionated and I l laugh and love to have fun, I do connect with dark material. It's very therapeutic. I tend to think of myself as a pretty happy person. But you've got to vent somewhere.'

'I'm about to be very busy promoting Black Christmas which is my horror movie that will be coming out Christmas Day. It's about a bunch of sorority girls running around and getting killed in a house. Good times.'

'Ever since I was little, my mom always taught me to believe in myself. So anytime that I get too depressed or sad or think I can't handle something, I stop and think, no, I know that I can accomplish this.'

''My confidence comes from me, Michelle, as a person. I don't necessarily believe that I will act and be lead forever, but I want to continue to act for a long time. I love to do what I do.'
