In the latest interview posted on SCIFI.COM, Joss Whedon talks a bit about how it's possible for him to be everywhere all at once. And, no, it's not quite magic, but close enough.

Quote:
I'm going to be more involved in Angel and Buffy even than I was last year. At the same time, I'm going to be completely immersed in [Fox's new SF series] Firefly. And the trick to it all is increased efficiency. Because I'm also going to be home more, too. I have all these New Year's resolutions. And there really is a question of increased efficiency. We juggled some writers. They're all aware that they have to step up now in ways they haven't before, and that's great. That's a great opportunity for a writer, or a writer-producer. And I have built this family. And although daddy left and we all feel bad about that, it's, I still have a huge extended family who are great creative people. So it's just a question of absolutely using the time and using the people and making sure that nobody is ever not busy.

Is it impossible? Yes. Are we going to accomplish it? Yes. Because I won't abandon Buffy this late in the game. I won't abandon Firefly this early in the game. And I especially won't abandon Angel right in the middle of its power, because Angel is the one that nobody really knows about. It's flying under the radar.

The interview also contains conversations with Emma Caulfield (Anya), Claire Kramer (Glory) and Adam Busch (Warren) from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.
