Beth: Caroline, Melissa and I, we are all the survivors.
Beth: (about Melissa) She is by turns incredibly mature and incredibly vunerable and she shares everything with the camera. I don't know if she's conscious she's doing it. She's also willing to put a lampshade on her head and slip on a banana peel. A lot of kids I've worked with that age, they're like into black leather and they're hanging out and they're cool. Melissa's reallly out there experiencing life and taking leaps.
Beth: I've gotten a few letters from religious zealots who tell me I'm going to go to hell for playing a witch.
Beth: When I read the Sabrina script I thought 'Oh this is so charming'. It's light and it's fun and I love the fact that we're using special effects. This is a whole new ball game and I'm enjoying it.
Beth: I think it's very important to support the program in your area as each part of the country has its own challenges coping with AIDS. It can be very different from state to state and city to city. Wherever you live there is surely someone who could use your help.
Beth: Examining other people's motivations, other people's language and other people's way of interacting is much more fascinating to me than spending a lot of time worrying about my own. I've said, 'What other people think of me is none of my business'.
(About Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996)) Beth: The show is meaningful to kids and I think it does have a great message. I mean, I wish when I was a kid that I'd been watching a show where women were so clever and so forthright and powerful. I love the way that Sabrina deals with boys. I love the equality in their relationships. We didn't have that when I was a kid. We didn't have people like that to look at.
