JM: Buffy the Ass-Kicking Vampire Slayer!!

Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring actresses like me out there?

JM: Start with roles that are like yourself. Become comfortable with showing yourself honestly.

From cinn9969: Okay, you act, you do some of your own stunts, you do an accent that's so damn good my aunt from Liverpool didn't know it was fake, and now I find out you sing. Is there anything you don't do, Mr. Amazing Talent Guy?

JM: Well, thank you. BTW, I'm playing every other month at 14 Below--a music club in Santa Monica. It's very scary and a blast.

From sue158: I read in another chat with you that for your role as Spike, you have to bleach your hair every four weeks or something--how come it hasn't fallen out yet?!

JM: Every two weeks! Can you believe? It hurts, but my hair doesn't seem to care. It's fine, it doesn't seem to notice.

From echo_liz: You're gonna think I'm a big pervert, but do you wear any type of underwear under those jeans they have you in on Buffy? It just looks like maybe you, uh, don't because they are awfully tight. Mind you, I'm not complaining.

JM: Ummm, no.

From yahojay: What do you think is your best feature?

JM: My ears. I have very expressive ears. No, no just kidding. I'm being a smart-ass. Really, I don't know.

From buffy6001: I was wondering if you were planning on doing any Angel episodes?

JM: I would love to. I would love to go over to my good friend David's show--and kick his battle-hardened ass!!!

From shazza145: I am a big fan, and I just wanted to know what you plan to do after you eventually leave Buffy.

JM: Take over the world--starting with this town.

From shadowalker: How does potraying a villain like Spike differ from playing a good guy in some of your other roles?

JM: You get to be really mean. It's delicious.

From angelicspike2113: How do you get psyched up for shooting a scene on Buffy?

JM: Coffee, wheatgrass juice, coffee, ginko biloba, coffee, carrot juice, Red Bull, Red Bull. Jumping jacks, sit-ups, slapping myself in the face. No, I am not kidding.

From buffyfan86: Since you have been on Buffy, has it changed your life? And how much?

JM: I don't have to worry about rent. This is a huge relief. I was pretty poor when I was in theater.

From childe_of_angel: What inner and outer qualities do you look for in a woman or a wife?

JM: Not looking for a wife. But in a woman...strength, health, intelligence, humor, wisdom, humility and beauty.

From judinal: What was it like kissing Sarah Michelle in the episode where you guys were gonna get married? I never thought we'd see THAT!

JM: If I answer that question, Sarah's boyfriend would hit me with a bat, and I wouldn't blame him.

From lisa21: I understand you're in a new play later this month at a small theater. How did you get involved with that, and what's it about??

JM: I met the director, Dan Henning, at Sarah's birthday party. It's called The Why, and it's about Columbine. It's written by Victor Kaufold--and it has four actors playing about 30 roles. It's both very funny and dead serious.

From no_surprizes: If you could do anything in the world, what would it be?

JM: Fly.

From luisab: You seem to be a pretty balanced person. I'd just like to know if there is anything at all that scares you.

JM: Missing an opportunity.

From rachaelboreanez: How many pillows do you sleep with? What is your shoe size? What's your favorite Website?

JM: Four. Nine and a half. Don't know squat about the Web--it's ridiculous.

From musical1732: Have you ever been afraid of vampires or any stories like that?

JM: No, not afraid. Excited, maybe.

From sinead23: What is in your CD player right now?

JM: Blink 182, Tom Waits, Crash Test Dummies, Marvin Gaye and the soundtrack to Ghost Dog.

From radiochip: C'mon, give us the dirt about life on the set--are they really as nice as everyone says they are? And what was it like kissing Sarah? That's sooo f---ing cool, man.

JM: One time, Nick threw food at Sarah at lunch, but that's about as bad as it has gotten. As to kissing the Buffster, refer to the earlier question (but yeah, man, sooo f---ing cool!).
