She harbours an off-the charts level of resentment for all met, yet longed to go to the Prom. And despite her demonic roots, even she didn't want to witness another Ascension. "It's a fun character to play". Says Caulfield. "Anya remains mortal and ambivalent. She's just struggling with being human, and really, don't we a'' struggle with that from time to time? It's fun. She's very irreverent - and definitely bitter." Like many of the show's guest stars, Caulfield also appreciates the opportunity she's recieved to get involved with one of Tv's most acclaimed and complex show's.
"It's funny; people who don't watch the show hear 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and they immediately think that it's gotta be campy cheese." she explains. "It has it's element of camp to it, but it's so much more than that." As for how long Anya will remain a part of Buffy, Caulfield's attitude is 'whatever will be, will be'. "I love working [on Buffy]" she says, "and if it all works out, then great. If it doesn't, then it's not meant to be. I sorta have that philosophy on everything in the business; if it's not this, then there's a reason and you're going to get something else.
We can't all be at the same place we want; there's too many of us. Wherever I'm at, I'm just grateful and happy, because I'm lucky. I've been fortunate." To Paraphrase the Beatles, Emma Caulfield's just lettin' it be, while she keeps her own Zen philosophy towards show business close to her heart. Buddha would be proud.
