Julie Benz Quotations

I'm also very proud of my work on Taken.

I actually, when I read the script I knew it was going to be a big hit. In my gut, my gut said that this show was going to be it.

To us marriage is first, everything else is second.

And I had never played an evil character before up until that point so I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do as far as the acting choices were.

Everyone else trains just as hard as well and that there really is no such a thing as overnight success.

I really feel that I was given the opportunity to grow as an actress and really challenge myself and use her almost as an acting school in a way.

I don't think as big and as creative as Joss.

I love doing action films that do challenge me physically. I feel it's my job to keep my stamina up and be as physically fit as possible, so that I can just jump in and do it. It takes its toll sometimes and it's hard work, but I love that.

Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter.

If you're offered something, you're not really sure exactly what is that they saw in you that they think is the character so it's a little scary, I feel.

During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.

I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.

I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband.

When I first started I was always known as The Girl on the Sitcom with the Funny Voice.

When they took me to do the camera test for the vampire make up, after they put the prosthetic on, I went though the entire process, I went back to my trailer and I looked in the mirror and I smiled.

I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.

I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.

I only knew basic western trail riding. Nothing fancy.

I think Sarah Michelle Gellar has done some brilliant work as Buffy.

I loved playing Darla.

The great thing about working on a genre show is that you can basically have a season finale where every character is left destroyed, and then hit the reset button and come back for the next season.

I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.

Um, and I'm also very proud of my work on George of the Jungle 2.

But I never worked with a northern horse before. They are very different from western horses.

It's very exciting to have fan response and fan reaction.

There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time.

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.

Oh, well, in Los Angeles everybody is an actor, or a producer, or a writer, or a director, or an agent, or... So everybody understands the hours.

I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.

That's a hard question, because I started skating when I was three, so I don't really remember life before it, and I don't know what it is like not to work hard at something.

I think for me it was a natural transition to move full time into acting rather than figure skating.

And I'm not very coordinated, either. Only on ice skates, not in real life.

I love being challenged physically, as an actress.

It's funny, I get really nervous when I audition for voiceovers.

You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success.

The meaning of life... I think the meaning of life is, I think it's love.
