''For Halloween, I'm going to the Playboy mansion, and I'm going to go punked up, show a little skin. And I'm hoping to get my date made up as a vampire. I'm going to keep her on a chain. I wear the best Halloween costume year round, so why fight it?'' JM on his appropriately ghoulish Halloween plans @ EW.Com
"I'm love's bitch in real life. Totally. I believe in romance." JM
Question: Who are your heroes in cinema, literature and music?JM: "Shakespeare. Shakespeare's the dirtiest playwright ever - people think he's polite, that he's classy. No way! Nobody kills more people, or has more sex on stage! As far as cinema goes - Apocalypse Now. I love that movie. Plus Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Kurosawa."
***
Question: How does it feel getting spanked by Buffy nearly every episode?JM: Surprisingly exciting. Then I went over to Millennium and I got my ass kicked by a girl there. Right at the end she cracks my head open!

Well, I think vampires and vampirism are a very clear metaphor for sex. Male vampires almost never bite males and female vampires almost never bite females. Very clearly, it's a sexual thing. And vampires get to take whatever they want whenever they want it. Vampires don't need wallets or credit cards. They like something, they take it.

Oh, nooooooo," Marsters immediately disagrees. "I would say that, first of all... Spike is good as a counterpoint to the good work going on by the Scooby Gang. But he undercuts what is really going on. Now if you just had him undercutting all the time, he might become wearisome, cynical and boring. He might become a bore. It is called the 'Buffy' show, Sarah is the lead and to the extent that all men want Sarah and all women want to be Sarah, then we will always have a television show. The only person who needs to be on the set for it to be Buffy, is Buffy."
***
"The hero must, by definition, be generic. Functionally and structurally, the audience must see the world through the eyes of the hero. They can't be so specific as to alienate anyone in the audience. That can mean they can be a bit flat. Now, I'm not saying anything against a good hero (and Robert Redford and Paul Newman do it the best!) but it's an art unto itself to give depth to that job," he explains. "But villains have a very easy way to just blow the camera away. The camera wants to be blown away, you get the cool, low rumbling music, you get to grab people by the throat and throw them against the wall. Yeah, villains are the absolute best you can hope for! Hey, I get to be rude to everyone around me, c'mon!"
***
"Well, you never get away from the Buffy side of it. They advertise it and let Buffy fans know it's happening... otherwise no-one would show up! I play at the 14-Below club and the Opium Den about once a month. It's fun and I'm getting better at it. I'm writing more songs and getting introduced to more musicians. People from Four Star Mary want to record with me. It's taking off slowly which is good. As for social life.... and taking advantage of my popularity? I'm doing juuuuuust fine! (laughs) I find lots of time for that! But, yeah, for movies, it does get in the way of the long term schedule. I have to say that the scripts I've read for stuff/movies other than Buffy, have not been as good, so really I'm not worried. I'm getting paid and I have a great job. I'm doing a small film with Amber Benson who plays Tara. It's completely different to Buffy. She plays a sex freak and I play a shy young man."
***
"It's the same boots, the same T-shirt the same jeans, socks and coat as the very first episode. I've only ever had one [costume]. I wish I could have more. I don't know why, but I haven't got them," he sighs. "You know, you pigeonhole a character if you don't change their physical look and telegraph to the audience that he only goes so deep. I think we very much need to see Spike in some other stuff... but that's up to the costumier."

Young James:"Growing up I was totally uncool. But I didn't care. In fact, I wanted to be on the outside. I dressed like a freak and was into punk rock. With every gesture, I advertised that I did not belong."
***
"I was a total outcast (in high school) and had NO interest in being popular. I ran with the group of punk rock punks. We did NOT want to be liked. We did not want to fit in. We had a rock and roll band and the irony was that we became enormously popular because we just didn't care -- and we threw the most enormous parties in the town. And sought subtle revenge on all the big kids who abused us in junior high. We made sure they didn't get any when they came to our parties. Yes, we would crush their self-esteem. I don't like mean kids."
***
"I live in Santa Monica, California, in a 1930s Mediterranean-style apartment with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, lots of sunlight, which I have blacked out with black plastic for now in the bedroom, as I am a very late sleeper. I am a night owl. I'm two blocks from the beach. And there are about 20 cats, 12 of who belong to my landlord next door, and whom my cat Zachary enjoys beating up. He gave one cat a bloody mouth. This was the other week, and I'm very proud of him This cat came from the Bronx. He was the one cat who refused to go back into the cage at the ASPCA. He drew my blood on the first meeting, and I love him."
***
"My cat died last year, and I haven't had the heart to replace him. He'd been with me since day one."
***
"In the fourth grade, I had a brownish-red jacket with a hood. It made me look like Curious George, which earned me the nickname "Monkey."
***
"The first Halloween costume I remember is being a hobo in third grade. I remember opening a door and a guy thought I was Jimmy Durante. He said, "Hi, Jimmy" and I thought he knew me. I was spooked all to hell. He invited me into his Halloween party and introduced me to all his guests as Jimmy. I wanted to jump out the window. I later found out he thought I was Jimmy Durante. This year the head of the makeup department, Todd MacIntosh, is throwing a party and you're supposed to go as your favorite cross-dressing star. The only one I can think of is Tim Curry in "Rocky Horror Picture Show". I will be a sweet cross-dresser."
***
"In the past, I've looked back on things I've done and thought, 'A smart man would have been afraid to try that.' I have an unhealthy lack of fear."
***
As for getting into the role, Marsters said that "most of us have severe limits on our dreams. ... For vampires, it's just immediate gratification at all times. That's a very easy fantasy to give yourself over to."
On James..."Tony [Head] and James [Marsters] are true theater geeks. And I use the word geek advisedly."-- "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon
***
"There was a hunger about James, a determination to really tackle ambitious projects, to not do the same old thing. And what was great about him was that he was equally comfortable in the basement of Cafe Voltaire as he was on the Goodman main stage. As long as he was excited about the project, the space didn't matter."-- David Zak, Bailiwick artistic director
FansWe were in London on the dance floor, and Joss Whedon [the series' tuneful creator] actually stopped dancing, going, 'I'm in the middle of your song — I'm on fire, I can't get it out!'" "Just today he was like, 'The last stanza needs more balls.' He wants it to be really rock and roll."-comments about episode 6X07
***
"Buffy fans tend to be pretty cool. They're pretty smart and they appreciate good writing. They're quite polite when they approach me." -
***
"When I was in England, a 75-year-old lady asked if she could grab my butt. I was mortified!"
***
"When I went to London, 15 minutes into the gig, a personal appearance, a 65 year old British lady asked me to turn around. I did. She asked me to bend over. I turned around and asked why. She told me her friend wanted to feel my ass. I was in Rome and in a generous mood, and the 80 year old women told me in her sweetest voice you can imagine..."Now clench." Other than that it's been pretty cool."
***
"The English are randy!" he says. `"Oh my god. I had a 65-year-old woman say, 'Could you please turn around and bend over?' And I said, 'Why?' She said, 'I want to feel your butt.' So I let her. She was 65 years old. I felt like a Puritan, really."
***
"Yeah.... I have not had a bad experience with a fan at all. They seem to know the boundary very well." (...) "They want me to bite 'em or lick 'em or taste 'em or something like that." Has he ever granted such a wish? "No. I got a girl, man. Have you seen my girlfriend?" asks Marsters, referring to the lovely actress Liz Stauber (Three Kings), whom he met doing The Tempest at the Shakespeare Festival in Los Angeles three years ago. "I don't need to go biting anybody.... I ain't no fool." - On the president's Crotch
***
His Favorite Book: "Twentieth Century Insanity and the Madness of Crowds." It's about the credulity of people through history, and it states that there are three things that we will never be able to beat in our lives -- death, ignorance of the future, and toil. People have been selling snake oil all these years telling people they have a way out of those three things. It was written about 100 years ago."
***
"We were a country looking at a whole new world, Russia's falling apart. Japan is about to go down the tubes and we're talking about the president's crotch?" -- James
***
"There's a big difference between what you want to be true and what is true -- do you know? I mean, we will see what we want to see. If everybody desperately wants there to be an afterlife -- so we explore that and we look for reasons to believe that that's true. But it doesn't make it true."-- James

"I was a total outcast and had NO interest in being popular. I ran with the group of punk rock punks. We did NOT want to be liked. We did not want to fit in.

***
"There's a line that goes down the side of a woman's neck that I just love. And I love the hair on the nape of the neck, where the tender part meets the very hard part of the skull." - James
***
"It was a very well written character. I enjoy playing roles that could just be written off as jerks. I try to let people see that human being sometimes make mistakes." - JM on his Millennium character, Eric Swan
***
"I've gone on the Net a couple of times--once when I was filming a movie in Missouri, and the assistant director called me over and said, 'James, you gotta take a look at this.' I gotta check that out. It's incredible!"
J'adore l'anecdote où il raconte qu'une fois, une vieille dame lui a demandé si elle pouvait lui toucher les fesses
