James Marsters News + Live Journal

So, you may have noticed I've been quite busy for the last month or so (OMG I tweeted sooo much!), & as a result, there were quite a few of James' French interviews that I didn't have the time to post here. I RTed them over on my Twitter, so if you follow me there, you probably caught them, but, like I said, I tweeted a lot, so you may have missed some, even if you do follow me! So, see below for all of James' interviews from his visit to France that haven't been posted here individually. I've also included any videos that were posted to YouTube further down.

Absolutely, because Buffy is a series that I can be proud of. We managed to get the idea that violence does not solve all the problems and that women can kick ass! At the time, I was producing and performing in Seattle and Chicago. I had just had my son and I was coming to Los Angeles just to earn money. The theater is great fun, but you win almost nothing. So I decided to sell myself on TV (Laughs.)

You had the feeling of selling yourself?
Oh yeah, completely! I had no illusions. It was the late 1990s and television was not as interesting as it is today, at least from my point of view. I remember telling my agent that I was not there to receive awards since I had them already at the theater. I had nothing to prove and I did not respect the people of this environment anyway (Laughs.) I was there for the dough! To buy diapers! And suddenly, I found myself in a series that spread a subversive message to more people than I could have imagined.
