Quotes by the Cast & Crew:


"When he bites her and she's writhing on the floor, in her full orgasm she breaks the table. They missed it. The most erotic thing I've ever seen on TV, and the censors missed it completely."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar on Graduation Day Part 2

"Last year, with Angel and the heartbreak, I would go home and cry. My body wouldn't work properly. I don't take demons home with me, but I do take Buffy's pain. The vampires I'm immune to, but not the emotion. When we filmed the episode where Angel breaks up with her, I cried for 25 minutes. I thought I was having a breakdown. They had to shut down the set. When they say rip your heart out, that's really what unfulfilled love does."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar on Graduation Day Part 2

"We had the most amazing working relationship I've ever had, I've been very blessed with the guys that I've worked opposite, but David and I had a very, very special relationship. In three years of working together, we never had so much as a disagreement, and that's just unbelievable, considering the hours we spent together."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar

"Every time they try and bring someone new in for Buffy, all I can think is, "But it's not Angel!". I'm not really sure what we're going to do now. We just did an interesting episode where Buffy spent the summer moping over her boyfriend... like everybody who loses their first love... and then this cute sophomore in college asks her out and she's so excited and he says all the right things, and does all the right things, and she sleeps with him on the first date and then he dumps her. I ran into Joss' office, screaming, "Buffy would never do this! All this history with Angel, this is WRONG!" And Joss said to me, "Sarah, try going to college. This is what people do and this is how they learn and these are the mistakes they make", and that is exactly what Buffy is going through. Right now she's trying to convince herself, like most young girls do, that she needs to get away from the bad guy and find a nice, solid guy, but she's terrified that without that fire and intensity and passion that she would step all over a nice guy because she'll be bored. I think Angel is her true love and I don't know if she can ever find love like that again. I just did my first cross-over episode with Angel and it was an amazing experience and one of the best episodes we've ever done..."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar on Parker

"Angel is Buffy's true love. They have something you can never repeat. I mean, I understand it when people say nothing is ever the same after your first true love. They were soul mates. And Riley and Buffy were at different stages in their lives; they were different people. Buffy never loved Riley the same way she loved Angel."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar

"There is a definite connection between Buffy and Angel. It's love in its truest most pure form."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar

 "I mean working with her is great. The three seasons that we worked together, we never had an argument. I mean that's pretty odd, um -since we were in such close quarters, both of our characters. But, you know she's here in my heart, and that's the best thing about it. And she's actually given me the opportunity to be here where I am today. I mean her character, her show, enabled me to grow and become another character so I owe a lot to her."
- David Boreanaz on Sarah Michelle Gellar

"It's not like Angel is ever going to get over Buffy, but he's won't be whining about her every episode. She'll just be the spectre of his one true love."
- David Boreanaz on will Angel remember Buffy in the spinoff

"Of course, he will always stay true. She's his one true love, definitely. There is a story that's going to be told between the two of them some day. For now, time and space is what's needed."
- David Boreanaz on will Angel remain faithful to Buffy

"Ohh ... jeez... I hope so, I hope we have more sex scenes in the future... she should come over to my show and we could shack up together from now on... put her on my show like that permanently."
- On episode I Will Remember You

"For Angel, the love of his life is definitely Buffy, but he's trying to become human again. You see, he lost his innocence early on. He never really got a chance to experience what it is to be a man. He lost that and he identified so much with this woman because there are so many similarities (between them)-- and she brought that out in him."
- David Boreanaz

"Of course, he will always stay true. Shes his one true love, definitely. There is a story thats going to be told between the two of them some day. For now, time and space is whats needed."
- David Boreanaz during AtS S2

"The underlying love would always be there. That's very strong, and you can't take that away. So who knows how that would work out? If the shows were to somehow go back together (on one network), then that would be great for the audience."
- David Boreanaz during summer between AtS S3 & 4

"It was very powerful because we hadn't seen each other in so long. Bringing (Angel and Buffy) back together again, you could feel that fusion."
- David Boreanaz on the crossover

"It's been a great time so far. There is nothing detrimental about Angel crossing over to Buffy – just pour it on. The experience has been wonderful; there are no negative feelings between the two casts."
- David Boreanaz on crossing over to Buffy for the series finale

"Yes. I don't see anything else beyond that relationship. We know they'll end up together."
- David Boreanaz on is Angel Buffy's true love

"Hopefully, Spike will be my ally, but if not, I'll just have to kick the shit out of him. I'll break out Angel's big badass boots."
- David Boreanaz on Spike's role on Angel

"Yes. I don't see anything else beyond that relationship. We know they'll end up together."
- David Boreanaz on question is Angel Buffy's true love.

"The Buffy-Angel connection has got to win out (in the end). They're perfect together."
- David Boreanaz on fans resisting C/A

"Darla and Angel were together for 150 years and he was with Buffy for 3, so they have the longevity and I would like them to end up together, but in the end I think he will end up with Buffy."
- Julie Benz

"I think Sarah Michelle Gellar is an amazing Buffy and watching her in the first season I mean that girl worked her ass off to get that show made and to make it what it is. She was only 19 years-old at the time and she blew me away with her professionalism, with her work ethic. I don't think the show could have been made without her and I don't think it would have been a success without her."
- Julie Benz on Sarah Michelle Gellar

"It's true. It's the truth and he shows his manhood by saying so. Yeah. I thought that what the final episode did very well was admit that Buffy really is in love with Angel. That the sexual relationship she had with Spike was unhealthy. That it was unwise.
- James Marsters on Spike saying "No, you don't but thanks for saying it" to Buffy's ILY on Chosen.

"(Attacking) Buffy to prove my love? Hello!" he remarked, incredulous. "So, I started to get uncomfortable because people still wanted Buffy and Spike to be together, the same way I was uncomfortable with smoking too much because a lot of young kids watch and I didn't want to make that cool."
- James Marsters (2003)

"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."
- James Marsters on Spike's attempted rape (2003).

"There's potential there for conflict with Angel, because Spike knows that Buffy really loves Angel and not him. And Angel hates Spike because hes been there recently!"
- James Marsters (2003).

"I've always maintained that in my opinion (no offense to Angel/Cordy or Angel/Darla, or even Angel/Lindsey shippers), the Buffy/Angel 'ship is the truly mythic one."
- Tim Minear (2003).
