’’Music isn’t something James Marsters (40) is able to live off. Even though the Europeantour with his band Ghost of the Robot was completely sold out, not much money was handed over from the small clubs. Who cares. James still has some work to do as an actor even after the end of "Buffy". He’s got a movie coming up, and he has also joined "Angel". Is he escaping into the world of working, because nothing is going on in his private life ?
얌, 참 마 ! : For someone who comes from California and lives 의해 the beach, you’re pretty pale. 또는 are 뱀파이어 not allowed to tan ?
James : Exactly. Because of my role as Spike, I had strict no-tanning orders. And now, while on tour with the band, I do 더 많이 stuff at night time. Spotlights also don’t tan...
얌, 참 마 ! : The blonde hair was also pretty much an "order".
James : Yeah, it’s not very fun. The constant bleaching burns my scalp. Which is why I always added 7 packs of "Sweet ’n low" into the color so it wouldn’t hurt as much. Old hairstylers trick !
얌, 참 마 ! : "Buffy" is over. What’s Spike doing now ?
James : Rising from the dead ! "Buffy" may be over, but Spike lives on ! On July 24th I’m in front of the camera in LA again for the 6th and last season of "Angel". Um..what ? He should learn 더 많이 about the shows he does before he does interviews
얌, 참 마 ! : Wasn’t it supposed to end after the 5th Season ?
James : Pretty much, yeah. For a while no one really knew - but then I signed on.
얌, 참 마 ! : So you’re 천사 saviour ?
James : I guess 당신 could say that... through Spike, a completely different story can be told, which is supposed to last a whole season. A lot of responsibility !
얌, 참 마 ! : What else is up ?
James : Well I really want to go into the studio with the band. We already have enough songs for a 초 album. And then in the fall I will be in Italy for a new movie I’m doing, "Italian Heat".
얌, 참 마 ! : Sounds like a lot of work. How are 당신 going to get that all done ?
James : I don’t really know, actually. I think I need to reduce my sleeping from 4 to 2 hours.
얌, 참 마 ! : Why only 4 hours ?
James : I don’t really have much 더 많이 time than that. Most of my time goes to filming, and the rest I need for Ghost of the Robot.
얌, 참 마 ! : Does it annoy 당신 that 당신 guys are only successful because 당신 played Spike on "Buffy" ?
James : No, but I do know that most people only come to our gigs because of that. But when I later hear how much they 사랑 our music, that makes me feel better.
얌, 참 마 ! : What kind of 음악 do 당신 listen to ?
James : Jazz, Blues, Norah Jones and Radiohead. I like "handmade" 음악 best. Like the 음악 from Ghost of the Robot. Just cool rock 음악 with loud guitars.
얌, 참 마 ! : Hmm... Rock star, Actor - sounds like a ladies man. How’s it going for 당신 in your 사랑 life right now ?
James : Rather depressive. I’ve been single for a 년 now. I noticed that I was always with the wrong women. Now I just want to find myself.
얌, 참 마 ! : How would a woman have to be, to change your mind ?
James : The main thing is, is that she has to be natural, and that she loves me because I’m James, the human being, not because I’m a famous actor and that I have money.
얌, 참 마 ! : Sounds good. But 당신 are 40, don’t 당신 want a family ?
James : I’ve been married, divorced now, and I have a son.
얌, 참 마 ! : 당신 look younger than 당신 are. What’s your secret ?
James : Well, I live really healthy. I don’t eat much meat, but 더 많이 vegetables. I hardly ever drink alcohol and I quit smoking.
얌, 참 마 ! ; Was that hard ?
James : Oh yeah ! I chain smoked for years. I’ve been on the patch for 3 years now.
얌, 참 마 ! : How do 당신 stay in shape ?
James : Good question. I just gained 7 Kilos, that I need to get rid of right away so I can have washboard abs again. I need to do 더 많이 sports.
얌, 참 마 ! : Like what ?
James : I 사랑 Martial Arts. I used to do gymnastics, and tried to be a 축구 player for a while, which didn’t last very long.
얌, 참 마 ! : Why not ?
James : I got kicked out of the team because I sucked ! If 당신 have a ball that 당신 never want to see again, give it to me ! (Laughs) I’ll kick it into nevernever land. And I also hate team sports.
얌, 참 마 ! : No problem, there’s got to be some individual fighters. Are 당신 one of those ?
James : Yeah, pretty much. If I really want something, I’ll give my everything - even if I have to do it on my own. That’s just how I am.
얌, 참 마 ! : Are 당신 always so consistent ?
James : No, not always. I may get excited about things really quickly, but if I realize it’s not actually that great, then I look for new ways...
얌, 참 마 ! : New ways... can I use that to switch the subject over to cars ?
James : Sure, go ahead. But 당신 might not get as much as 당신 would have a couple years ago. That’s when I still had a ’66 Ford Mustang, a really great car ! But I gave it to my ex. Now I drive a Honda Civic, with which I get 2.000 miles per week. My son lives with his mother, which isn’t in LA. I visit him every weekend, so I drive there. I miss him a lot.
얌, 참 마 ! : Who comes and gives 당신 a hug ?
James : No one. I used to have a cat, Zachary, that I got in the Bronx while I still lived there. I had him for 14 years, but he died not too long ago.
얌, 참 마 ! : Your 집 was in the Bronx ?
James : Yeah, I used do theatre in New York. I lived in places like the Bronx and Queens. It was a rough time. The scar that I have on my left eyebrow ; I got it there. If 당신 want to reach something, sometimes 당신 just have to kick your way through... ’’
