Alyson Hannigan Personal Quotes:

[On her role as the witch "Willow", crossing over from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) to act in the episode "Orpheus" on the series "Angel" (1999), where her fiancé, Alexis Denisof, is a regular:] “I finally get to spend a day with my honey, so that’s really nervous coming in. I had butterflies in my stomach. I don’t know why I was so nervous — maybe because I don’t know how to pronounce half the lines I have to say today. They’re in some made-up language”.
