Envious fans, America and special powers

BBC Host: Hello, and welcome to tonight�s live chat with Michelle Trachtenberg. Before we start, could you tell us how you feel about last week's tragic events in New York?

Michelle: Thank you all for signing in and chatting with me. I think in the light of what happened on Tuesday, I love the fact that some of us are able to go on, really come together and still talk to each other.

Of course, it's terrible what happened on Tuesday and my thoughts and prayers are with all of the families and friends of those who have not been found yet. Coming from New York myself, I feel honoured that each and every New Yorker is volunteering and coming together.

Dominique Dutch: Do you know that many girls are jealous at you because you work on Buffy?

Michelle: Well, I hope they're not jealous (laughs) but I can't tell you how much I like being on Buffy. It was my favourite show even before I was on it. I love giving Dawn back to the audience, and I love the fact that the audience really gives back to me through their comments.

Andrew Williams: If Dawn could super powers what would they be?

Michelle: It would probably be cleaning her room really quickly or finishing her homework really quickly so she can go and have fun with her friends.
