Known world-wide for her role as Buffy in\u00a0Buffy the Vampire Slayer,\u00a0<\/em>Sarah Michelle Gellar has long been living a life of fame. She started acting in commercials at a very young age, and she continues to act today. Gellar is currently starring in the CBS comedy,\u00a0The Crazy Ones,\u00a0<\/em>featuring Robin Williams. In the craziness of a Hollywood lifestyle, it can be difficult to live a normal life. In an interview with\u00a0More\u00a0<\/em>magazine, Gellar talks about how marriage and motherhood helped her find a happy medium amongst all the madness.<\/p>\n

Gellar is happily married to Freddie Prinze, Jr.<\/strong> “[I have] a separate life. I always say I’m Sarah Michelle Gellar when I work and I’m Sarah Prinze in the other life,” she said. Keeping relationships separate from work can help keep peace.<\/p>\n

One of the hardest parts about adulthood is managing time.<\/strong> Gellar appreciates the experience she had as Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer,\u00a0<\/em>but she no longer has the time for the long hours it required.\u00a0“It was a cultural phenomenon, but the hours were insane. I could barely make it home to bed,” Gellar told\u00a0More.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMe time.<\/strong> If I have extra time, I want to be with my kids. I still have that mom guilt. I haven\u2019t had a facial since my first child was born.\u201d Being a mom requires time, lots and lots of time. Gellar’s top priority now days is making sure she spends plenty of time with her children.<\/p>\n

Gellar may have found a balance between work and family, but stress is inevitable.<\/strong> What does Gellar have to say about dealing with the little stresses of life? “Go on female dates, girl dates with your friends to recharge.”<\/p>\n

Staying open and positive are crucial, especially when living in the spotlight.<\/strong> Gellar’s tip is to see the bright side and start to look at failure in a new light.\u00a0\u201cWe look at failure as a bad thing, but if failure is a learning experience, then it makes you a better person. Don\u2019t be so afraid of that word.\u201d<\/p>\n
