Rapists Quotes

(about Episode 6-19, "Seeing Red," the scene in which Spike tries to rape Buffy:) "That was the hardest day of my life. I have turned roles down because they are rapists. It`s something I don`t even want to watch. If I even click on it on TV, I have to click it off or I`ll put my foot through the screen... What you see on that screen is just my terror at having to do that scene. There`s not really any acting going on and I haven`t watched the scene. I`ve seen little clips. You know, `previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.` They show it sometimes and I`m always like, `Oh, God.` ... The writers are fabulous, but when I showed up on set that day I told them: `Sometimes you guys just don`t know what you do. You just do not know what you`re asking us...` I`m proud of it artistically, but as a human being I never, never, never want to do a scene like that again and I will always refuse because I know what it does to me."
