This is the transcript of a chat Sarah had on E-Online. I don't know if it's complete... That the way found it. So if anybody have the full version (or if it's the full version) please let me know.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
On the outside, she's a petite blonde beauty with a face so sweet and dainty, it looks
like it belongs on a porcelain doll. But on the inside, Sarah Michelle Gellar is one tough
chick. In fact, a quick glance at her résumé reveals a woman who has no fear.
She regularly spends her weeks karate-chopping her way around evil creatures as Buffy, the
Vampire Slayer on the hit WB television show. She's spending her summer amidst murder and
mayhem, costarring in two separate horror flicks: I Know What You Did Last Summer--a new
thriller from Kevin Williamson, the writer of Scream--and Scream II, Wes Craven's much
anticipated sequel to this year's sleeper. And let's not forget that Gellar won a daytime
Emmy for her portrayal of Kendall Hart, the daughter of TV's most devilish diva of
all--Erica Kane (Susan Lucci)--on All My Children.
Scary, huh? Not for this 21-year-old, who has been acting since she was five. A native New
Yorker, Gellar is not one to be afraid--or to slow down. When we finally pinned her down,
Gellar bravely answered your questions about that love affair with Angel, arm-wrestling
Xena and being a role model for lesbians...
From thirdrocker: Were you nervous about starting a
television program designed after a movie which had, by many voices, been a
"flop"?
I look at the series as based loosely on the movie. In my mind, all we did was
take the idea of Buffy, not the story or the character. Not to mention the fact that,
since the movie came out so long ago, I think we managed to avoid the comparison that way.
From wiz20: What kinds of things can we expect to see on the
new season of Buffy?
You can expect some new villains, more action, the
continuing saga of the Buffy-Xander-Willow triangle (and maybe even Angel)--not to mention
more of a presence from Cordellia. That's all I can tell you.
From hollywoodbound: I hear that the guy who plays Angel on Buffy is coming back next
season as a regular. Are he and Buffy going to get together again romantically?
Yes, he will be back, but I won't say in what
capacity or for how long.
From arnaldo: What is your reaction to being the hottest download on the Internet since
Teri Hatcher wore nothing but a cape?
Is that true?
From danhammond: So, how does it feel to be named on TV Guide's "20 Great Faces"
list?
I did get teased a lot on the set of I Know What You
Did Last Summer, the movie I was filming when the article came out.
From poopsydo: What is your favorite movie of all time?
Heathers.
From bailylver: What actor/actress has inspired you the most and why?
Stockard Channing, because watching her work was
inspiring to me, and also Eric Stoltz, because I think he's the cutest.
From didke: You've gotten to kiss some pretty hot guys onscreen. Who was your favorite?
Rudolph Martin, Windsor Harmon, David Boreanaz, Ryan
Phillippe. How can I decide? I love my job.
From comikaze: I love your outfits. Who decides what you wear on the show? Do you ever get
to keep the clothes?
My costumes are picked by a costume designer, Joss
Whedon (the show's creator) and me. I wish I got to keep the clothes.
From cavall: Are there any people who do research on old vampire legends to come up with
the ideas for some of the episodes, or do the ideas come right off the top of the writers'
heads?
The ideas come from a combination of places. The
producers and writers do research on old legends, sometimes even on the Net, as well as
add some of their own ideas.
From celebgazer: What do you think you would be doing if you were not acting?
I would like to write children's stories. It is
something I still plan to do. Dr. Seuss is my idol.
From angelg: Where do you keep your Daytime Emmy Award?
I keep it in my office--nothing too original.
From pgoddin: How much kickboxing training have you had to undergo for your role as Buffy?
I notice you do quite a lot of your own stunts and fight scenes.
I do a combination of kickboxing, tai kwan do, basic
street fighting and gymnastics for the role. But, luckily, I took four years of tai kwan
do prior to this role.
From bubbac: What is a habit you have that fans might be surprised to learn about?
I'm basically pretty normal. I like to hang out with
my friends, Rollerblade, hike, go to the movies--and, sometimes, I even like to relax.
From baddog: Who would win at arm wrestling--Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Xena: Warrior
Princess?
Well, of course, Buffy, but don't you think a
Buffy-Xena crossover would be cool?
From leep: What do you think of the rumors that Buffy, Xena and Scully are the three most
popular characters among the lesbian subculture, because they are all independent,
intelligent and strong women?
I think Buffy is a wonderful role model for a lot of different types of people,
and I just hope that people can pick up on what we are trying to say.
From pearson: What do you do in your free time?
Free, what?

"Sometimes I get upset and lonely, and it's sort of like, 'Wow, I'm the only single person left in America.' I can't commit to a serious relationship right now, but maybe it's because I haven't met the right person." - Sarah Michelle Gellar
What Sarah Michelle Gellar is looking for in a guy
Okay, after hours (I'm serious!) on the web to find those characters and there signification, and then hours (I'm still serious) to find a way to present them to you (No: not all browsers support Traditional Chinese fonts...), I didn't back off, and here it is: "integrity" in Traditional Chinese. I've just one request. If some day you meet Sarah, begin to chat about the Chinese character for "integrity" and fall in love, then remember me! Sorry dude, but you owe me one. So I better be invited at the marriage!!!
Theses explanations have be posted by Dailin, on December 11th 1998 (http://www.wwli.com/languages/zhongwen/lesson01/messages/76.html):
INTEGRITY HAS 3 MEANINGS:
1.ADHERENCE TO MORAL AND ETHICAL PRINCIPLES. IN THIS CASE, INTEGRITY CAN BE TRANSLATED AS (see the top 2 characters).
2.THE STATE OF BEING WHOLE, ENTIRE, OR UNDIMINISHED. IN THESE CASE, INTEGRITY IS ( see the middle 3 characters).
3.A SOUND,UNIMPAIRED, OR PERFECT CONDITION. IN THESE CASE, IT SHOULD BE (see the bottom 3 characters).
