Getting out of character and into different clothes

I was just joking today that, in the beginning, I always had to wear skirts and little dresses as Buffy and I [now] can�t remember the last time I did an episode where I wasn�t wearing jeans.

It�s definitely a relief for a little bit. As with anything, you need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep the character interesting. Because Buffy really has become the straight man, every once in a while it�s nice to be the one that tells the joke and it�s nice to be the one that is the joke and it�s nice to do something that�s a little bit different.

I wouldn�t change Buffy for anything and I wouldn�t change the course in which she has evolved but it is nice to be able to do something that is a little different.
