James Marsters

Tonight on Loveline Adam and Drew welcome James Marsters "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

James is on Loveline right now. So far, he sounds surprisingly low-key. He’s usually so bouncy. He must be tired tonight.

He’s just told the mugging story, with the added detail that he was pretty much homeless at the time (sleeping in a van and different people’s places).

He just plugged the Knitting Factory show.

He just told a 17 year old girl to wait to have sex with her 20-year-old boyfriend. "If he can’t wait, he doesn’t really love you."

James on the accent: "The boss lived in England for a while and he wanted a punk rocker." Girl: "You fooled me." James: "I’m a big faker."

James: I got taught opera, vocal production, in college, where they sort of beat it into you. (after they played a clip of opera).

Girls are calling in and talking about their sex lives... talking to *James* about it. I don’t think I could do that...

James: (to a 14 year old who is concerned that she’s acting like a "slut") You can get a male’s attention with a lot less.

"You always have this annoying phase when you’re a young adult when you do a bunch of accents and annoy people."

On the band: "We’re tightening up. We played the Crest with 1,000 people and we were good."

The drummer (Aaron) is getting ready to go to South America as a missionary.

Caller now is a rape survivor who likes rough sex.

James seems to be sitting this one out.

"She needs to deal with her past" (after the caller is off the phone)

James says he has a touch of bronchitis (which explains the low-key voice tonight).

Question for James from female caller: What’s it like working with Joss?

James: Joss isn’t directing any more and I hate it (that Joss isn’t directing anymore). He always takes the most takes, and he’s Joss and nobody can tell him anything.

Fav ep? James: The one that scared me the most — the one where I had to wear that wig. (FFL)

One of the hosts just accused James of having tuberculosis.

Very nice James laugh when caller’s cell phone gave out (battery dead).

James speaking in support of antidepressant drugs.

Caller concerned she masterbates too much

James: The right to masterbate is like under the constitution.

James feeling sorry for dad who abandoned his daughter (whom one of the hosts is ripping on):

"But then the dad doesn’t get a relationship with his daughter."

James on large soft drinks:

"No lid is going to hold that structure." (OK, not so profound, but James hasn’t been talking much for the last 15-20 min.)

James on kids forced to wear nerd clothes:

"I would have been bitter for the rest of my life."

Girl caller says she loves and adores James:

James: I get so embarrassed when people say that.

James on Julliard: Julliard was not a good program when I was there. Thank god I went to a good program before that.

He said he was 19 when he went to Julliard. He said before Julliard he was at PCPA in Santa Maria.

On Julliard: They like to get them as young as possible because they are brainwashing people. Julliard is like a speech school. They are teaching everything but acting. Acting classes were hard to find.

Great music and great dance program, but not acting.

They kicked me out after two years.

There’s no air there because they have a whole floor with Stradivariuses and they can’t let any oxygen in.

James knuckles are red... he says it’s makeup. He was fighting a big demon.

I forgot to take off my makeup and I was driving home one night, and the cops stopped me, and it was very embarrassing.

Another female caller loves James...

James on why bra sizes don’t go up after "D" (DD, DDD)

"I think it’s because most women would like to be medium sized."

That’s it... it’s over.
