James was as gorgeous as ever on Rove. He wore a black T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. He was bouncing around all over the place. ;D Very animated and forever rubbing his head! I’ve transcribed the interview but I haven’t put in all the intonation etc. as they both laughed and carried on so much it’s too hard!
Rove: Please welcome the world’s sexiest vampire James Marsters!
James ran up on to the stage, shook Rove’s hand and then gave him a hug which seemed to surprise Rove but he was quite willing to hug back! He then spots the huge bowl of jelly beans which Rove always has on the table.
James: Oh!
Rove: There’s beans!
James: Oh yeah! I’m a sugar addict so I’m gonna stuff my face right in there, I’m gonna stay away from that, are you expecting Ronald Reagan? I’m a good boy.
Rove: How are you going?
James: I’m going good and what does that mean?
Rove: How are you going? Means how are you doing.
James: Exactly, I’m used to (speaks in a really American accent) “how you doing?”
How am I going? I’m gone!
Rove: I’m walking right now!
James: I’m so nervous by the way.
Rove: Why? You’re a big Hollywood superstar.
James: Yeah but I’m in Australia now and that don’t cut it. No I watched your show and like, you have the coolest show man.
Rove: I like you already!
James: Fuck off! I’m gonna shut up, I’m kissing your ass! I watched your show and you’ve got a very funny show. You’re more funny than Letterman.
Rove: I don’t think so (Audience goes Oooh and James stands up to make his point and the audience claps)
James: Dave’s not gonna have me on now. I’m past it, it’s true.
Rove: So how is it like for you post Buffy, post Angel?
James: It’s so good!
Rove: Is it?
James: I forget that people watch the show, both Buffy and Angel. I had a lot of fun making it and I come from theatre where the only people that are watching you are right there and I kinda forgot that anyone else was watching and so I’m going out into Hollywood and meeting people and the head of 20th Century blah, blah and they’re saying “We love your show, we love you man, come into the family” and it’s really a kinda beautiful time of my life. I’m sitting back and accepting all the love.
Rove: You can blend in a little bit more without the bleached hair?
James: A little bit, a little bit. I don’t know man, I think I wear my face in a way on the street. I got it in New York and it’s kinda like “Hi” (does a kind of snarly face and stares menacingly) Yeah, and all it is is that I’m afraid you are going to attack me. So people get the Spike face too much and the hair doesn’t really matter. So what I find is if I stay in one place then people get me but if I keep moving then I’m okay.
Rove: Now I’ve noticed here on your right arm, you’ve got a patch, a little nicotine patch.
James pulls up his sleeve.
James: Yeah baby!
Rove: Ooh, you’ve got two. (both Rove and James say two at the same time)
James: Two man! Yeah! (slaps his hand on the patches and growls)
Rove: I know you’ve had trouble and you’ve tried to quit in the past and you’ve had nude scenes you had to do in Buffy and you had nowhere to put a patch.
James: Yeah, that’s right and that is the time you need that patch! Cause I wear the patch (sighs) if I don’t have the patch on I become a complete asshole. I really do, I start to pick fights.
Rove: Really? You get that….
James: Yeah, I’m drastically immature.
Rove: Wow!
James starts getting really animated and puts on a tough guy voice.
James: “Who are you? You talkin’ to me?” You know, “No, I didn’t notice you before.” So yeah, there were many times I was going to the set of Buffy and I was trying to quit smoking and I would argue with the steering wheel man and I’m like “Get some cigarettes bro!” So yeah, I’ve been on the patch for five years.
Rove shakes his head in wonderment
James: I have no intention of quitting!
Rove: So how’s it going for you?
James: So good!
Rove: Really?
James: You’re good! Anybody smoking cigarettes here? Get on the patch because a cigarette will make you nauseous and then jittery because you get too much nicotine and then too little but the patch kinda makes you…(moves his hand across the air, indicating an even plateau)
Rove: Sweet. Now another thing I know you are addicted to, like my good self, is pez. You collect pez dispensers.
James: God yeah, yeah.
Rove: How cool are we!?
James: No!
Rove: Have you got the entire set? I believe you have a few missing ones.
James: Man, I’ve got, I have every pez dispenser you can name because I told my fans I like pez so I get a lot of pez but interestingly enough, I got to Australia and nobody gave me pez!
Rove: That’s not right!
James: No, it really is. It’s cool, it’s very cool.
Rove: Why? You need pez.
James: No. I got all this home made candy. I did. And I’m like, there’s these jars of stuff and like (speaks in Aussie accent) “What part of the dingo did that come from?” But yeah, you taste it and it’s pretty good.
Rove: Now tell me is there going to be or I’ve heard there’s going to be more Spike in the future. That there’s a possibly another project involving Spike. Tell me about this.
James: Yeah, I hope so. Joss, it was interesting, Joss came to me at the end of Angel.
Rove: The creator of Buffy.
James: Yeah, Joss Whedon who wrote along with David Greenwalt developed both of Buffy and Angel together and it was weird because I was doing some basic work on the show, voice over stuff and filling in bits and he came up to me and like “I really like your work and I’m hoping you’re still interested” and he’s kissing my butt! And I’m like “What are you doing Joss!” and I told him, I said “Joss stop it! Three lines, fifty lines, lead role, whatever you want man, call me, I’m there for you ‘cause frankly, you’re one of the best writers I’ve worked with.” And he said he wanted to do a Spike movie,
movie but it’s also contingent upon other characters. He wants to do four
movies and of them one is Spike. But, and so I said yes, right, immediately “I’m your bitch!” But I don’t know if the other people signed off on it so it may or may not happen. Not because I didn’t sign off on it but it may not really sell as a single project.
Rove: Well, we certainly look forward to seeing some more of you in the future and it’s been an absolute pleasure talking to you tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, James Marsters!
James: It’s really cool to meet you. (shakes Roves hand)
Man, James sounds hyper (maybe he had a third patch on his butt?!); what's with the Ronald Reagan reference, ai! 
Thank you for this, Toy!
