Joss Whedon: What I was interested in seeing was the character of somebody who is hated and considers the world her enemy, getting the chance to completely destroy the life of somebody who has got everything she doesn’t have and represents everything she doesn’t believe. And having it affect her instead so that she has no understanding of what she means. We did that specifically with the line that she says three times [It’s wrong.] and by the end of the show she says it with all sincerity. She’s become Buffy, she wants more than anything in the world to be Buffy, which is just… impossible for her.
