I’m the kind of woman who, when she walks into a party, all the other women leave the room.
I am a very selfish person.
I had never watched a law show prior to being cast on The Practice.
I love children and I love men, but I can’t commit to either for the rest of my life.
I love receiving fan mail.
I love talking about myself.
I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it’s just an idea.
I’m afraid of the dark, so I have a lot of night-lights.
I’m not afraid to look like a fool – and I think when you’re not afraid, you never do.
She comes from the Midwest. She had me at a very young age and raised me on her own. She’s a very hard worker.

Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don’t get it.
I had such a great mom and I know that I’d never be that mom. I wouldn’t want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.
I had so many freckles that my mother used to say that they were kisses from the angels. I still have them.
Sometimes when you’re just thrown into something, you are more ready for it than when you have time to think it over and get nervous about it.
That’s what the holidays are for – for one person to tell the stories and another to dispute them. Isn’t that the Irish way?
I’ve had Irish skin from the time I was a young girl.
You can get through your whole day only around people who will tell you that you’re wonderful. But pretty soon they’re going to have to be lying about that.
I spent every day just praying that I didn’t look like a big dork on camera.
