I’m one of those strange people: I really love going to the gym.
I’m always aware that there’s a trick to television to prevent an actor from becoming too lazy. Once you become too familiar with a character, it can stifle the adrenalin from flowing through in the performance.
I am a big believer in women’s lib, but I love when a man holds a door for me.
Small gestures can have a big impact.
I love being my husband’s wife.
It’s a little bit silly to pit us all against each other as if we were running a race. Just think about the fact that Richard Burton never won an Oscar.
Believe anything is possible and then work like hell to make it happen.
You never stop learning your craft. That’s the key to success within yourself as an actor.
To be included in the group with women like Glenn Close and Kyra Sedgwick is a little bit astonishing to me. To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Glenn Close is just ridiculous.
I think the whole world should try not talking for a day.
I’m a believer in ‘Ignorance is bliss.’
I love making money, but you can’t live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.
What I love about what I’ve been given – and luck has a lot to do with it – is that if you follow your heart you’ll wind up doing exactly what you want to do. I was fortunate enough to have enough of a foundation with people behind me to do what was in my heart. And it’s all worked out.
I’ve always had a tomboy quality to me that I embrace and don’t run away from. At the same time I’m a real girlie-girl.
I think you’re much more approachable when you’re on a small screen.
Isn’t there a danger with Tweeting, like drunk dialing? Isn’t there a drunk Tweeting danger?
I’m always shocked when actors have diva-esque behavior.
I’m too old-school to tweet.
The Emmys are honestly very unpredictable. I mean, have you looked at my Emmy record? I was nominated 6 times for ER and won once.
As you get older, all the things your parents said to you when you were younger ring true, but when you’re younger, you reject them.
Roles written for women are so much more complex on television. The film world is becoming quite flimsy for women.
