Pro fanoušky ředitele Snydera (ke kterým se samozřejmě počítám :-) zde malý úryvek z rozhovoru s Arminem Shimermanem, který Snydera tak skvěle hrál:
I'm also wondering what your sources of information and inspiration were for the character of Principal Snyder.
Well, everybody's had principals like Principal Snyder. I had a principal in Lakewood, New Jersey, where I grew up. His name was Mr. Vole, who was very close to the Snyder character. But primarily I'm trying to inhabit the skin of a character Joss Whedon created, and I used whatever background I had to flesh out what Joss had created. I've been told by a number of people that there are a lot of principals like Principal Snyder. If I may, I'll requote the New York Times [article] that said about Principal Snyder that he was the worst monster on the show, because the vampires and the demons are all mythological characters and really can't hurt people, but people like Snyder can.
I watched the [Buffy] episode ["Restless," season 4] where you did a riff on Apocalypse Now, playing the Marlon Brando role, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. How did you like playing that episode?
There was a note in the script from Joss. It said, "If you haven't seen this movie, please watch it." And of course I knew that I had to do—not an impersonation of Marlon Brando, but to try to imitate what he's doing. I got the picture and I was wowed by it, and of course I was tickled to be able to do that.
