Michelle Trachtenberg

"I put out an ad in the classifieds: ‘Wanted, superhero. I’m a damsel in distress’."

"Actually, I believe in the third season, one of the characters says, "Three hundred and something", which is the number of days from that point that I would appear on the show. Which is awesome."

"My meeting with Joss at the beginning of the season was kind of like, "Alright, welcome to the cast, you're a teenager, you're a Key, have fun."

"I'm usually the one who leaves a water bottle on set, because it gets thirsty under those bright lights."

"If you’re not falling, you’re not training hard enough."

"I never had a stage mother, which is probably one of the reasons why I’m still doing this."

"I've always felt that kids are really smart."

"I was always wanting to learn and be one of those actresses who can actually hold a conversation as opposed to standing there looking pretty."

"I feel that in order to truly be an actor, you have to differentiate yourself and your roles."

"I've had experiences before where a director is like, "Yeah, I wanted a blonde." Have you heard of hair dye?"
