Oh, behave: "It's great playing the far-out funny guy on Buffy, but I also like that Xander is changing a lot. He seems to be getting more mature, which helps because I'm so not."

The dating game: "I did that single thing for a short while, and it's just really not fun. It's really lonely and very shallow, and this is probably going to sound funny, but I'm a bit deeper than shallow."

Twin peaks and valleys: "Sometimes it's tough having a twin. The love is so intense but so is the hate."

Home improvement: "My girlfriend, Tressa, and I are remodeling our new house. It's very humbling. I love Tim Allen, but I can barely manage hanging a picture without leaving eight holes in the wall."

Nurse, hand me the spatula: "My latest obsession is cooking. I buy a new cookbook every week. I'm into making everything. Cookies, pies and I just did my first duck. If you're having people over, the secret to it is butter, butter, butter. It works every time. Just don't tell any of the guests."
