Misschristine: Do you find it difficult to play such a coniving character?

SarahBuxton: No, I don't find it difficult, I find it really interesting, because it's fun to be what you really can't be in real life. (smiling)

Ishtar: You were on the Bold and the Beautiful as well. What character did you play there? And is that what lured you to Sunset Beach?

SarahBuxton: I can't remember the name of the character I played, but I played Carrie Mitchum's best friend, and no, it didn't lure me to Sunset Beach, because it was so long ago. Then I got a part in Less Than Zero, so my part ended on the Bold and Beautiful.

Minerva: I saw you in Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead, great part! Do you have any movie roles in your future? What are you working on?

SarahBuxton: I have a movie coming out called Straight To The Heart starring John Hurt and David Strestaron that should be coming out in May. It opens in Europe at the end of this month. As far as other things coming up, I'm busy with Sunset Beach right now.

Diomita: I understand you grew up around Southern California, was it easy for you to break to into acting, growing up in and around LA?

SarahBuxton: I suppose it was easier than for people who didn't grow up in LA. I was approached by a manager in a supermarket, so I was sort of around the entertainment business since I was young.

Rubenesque: Do you miss doing gymnastics?

SarahBuxton: Yes, I do miss doing gymnastics. I try to practice sometimes in a class, but in my mind I can still do all the things I could do when I was young, but when it comes to doing them, I find I can't actually do them. (smiling)

Youbetcha: Did you have fun at the soap awards?

SarahBuxton: Yes, I had lots of fun! It was a big honor to be nominated for Best Villainess. It was nice to see all the people from the New York and LA soaps get together and have fun.

Oscarwinner: SunsetBeach was the first new daytime drama in a while, did that add extra pressure or excitement to the set?

SarahBuxton: It added extra excitement. All the other soaps were sort of looking at us to see how we were going to compete. But it was also very refreshing for us. It was a new concept, and I think people were looking to see something new.
