Musical tastes, computer games and Angel.

RZ: What kind of music do you like, Amber?

Amber Benson: I like it all. I'm open to everything if it's got a good beat. I like Amy Mann and Jeff Buckley. There's a guy called Jude who's really good too.

Rick: Have you played the Buffy [computer] game and if so are you any good?

Amber Benson: I have yet to play the game. But Chris Golden, who is my writing partner for the project we're doing for the BBC called The Ghosts of Albion, has played it and I've heard it's excellent.

Lukeyboy: Hey, what do you hope to get for Christmas?

Amber Benson: A million bucks and Johnny Depp! At this stage I just need to go and veg in a book store - I've been working too hard on this BBC project.

Indus: Would you ever like to guest star on Angel?

Amber Benson: Sure! I think the recent season of Angel has been really wonderful. I'd like to do one of the karaoke scenes.

Rob: You mentioned a BBC project you're working on, Ghosts of Albion - can you tell us more about it?

Amber Benson: Actually a lot of people have been asking about this. Chris Golden and I co-wrote this supernatural drama with a bit of a Jane Austen send-up. I've directed it and it's going to be animated and put on the BBC's Cult website - www.bbc.co.uk/cult. It's an interactive website so you can find out all sorts of information about the location. It's going to be done in a five-part installment - just like the old Dickens serials.

Xixili: I'd just like to say that I think you are a great role model on television, what do you think of that status ?

Amber Benson: It's means you can't be bad anymore (just kidding). I think because this was the first lesbian long-term relationship on television, you had to be really careful how you played it. I wanted to make it not just about the sexuality but about two people having a relationship. If you're in the public eye you have to live your life in a more responsible way. I've had to watch my wicked sense of perverse humour.
