I wonder if it's that this is what she's done her whole life and thinking about doing something else terrifes her. I mean, to spend the better part of THIRTY YEARS doing one thing and then to just up and quit? I've only been in accounting for 12 years and the thought of completely switching careers, which I need to do as I don't enjoy accounting anymore, scares the ever loving piss out of me.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

That's a distinct possibilty, Aims.
Maybe the pleasant experience working on The Grudge will assuage her unhappiness some.

I hope so. But if not, I would rather see her get out of acting before she becomes all bitter and evil like.
Or maybe I'm still projecting personal shit. ;)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Aimee - she also is married to an actor who has been reported as being jealous of her success...maybe she is downplaying for his sake???

Actually, from some of the comments she's made, it seems like SMG takes very little joy in what she does, and that maybe she's in the wrong line of work.
If so, it's a shame, as she's undeniably very good at it. Though I suppose people don't always enjoy doing the things they're talented at.

It's always made me a little sad because *I* loved Buffy so much. So many saw so much in a show she was the center of (visually, at least), it would be unfortunate and ironic if she hated it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm sure she loved the show. I'm pretty sure she's said as much. That's different from enjoying the work involved to do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And even more different from enjoying hanging out with coworkers after it's all done. I am reminded of how I react whenever my parents dropped me off anywhere (summer camp, college, etc.): I just wanted them to get the fuck out. And I like my parents! I'm not good with transitions.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's old ground, but I do think SMG meant it when she held up the "I miss you Aly!" sign closing out her guest hosting on SNL. Then that changed.
