Better to just be real. Show up and do your job and be a nice person.
You never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student.
I have a lot of courage. I'm a realist.
The business is a very tricky obstacle course, and you should be very clear about work begetting work. If you're not working, you're not interesting.
When you fall head over heels for someone, you're not falling in love with who they are as a person; you're falling in love with your idea of love.
You've got to clock the hours and pay your dues. Then eventually, people will come to you. You have to be patient and appreciative.
I don't think people were betting on me, but they were giving me a chance. I think I rode a wave there, by being different in appearance than the girls who preceded me.
I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are.
I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner.
I stuck out like a sore thumb when I came on, just by the fact that I looked so different. I think that adjustment for the audience was a hurdle for me.
I was very excited about the idea that I could be an idealist, that I could be my age, the eager beaver who had hope in the justice system and the one who gets disappointed just like the audience.
I've grown as a person. The dynamics on this set are very demanding because we work a lot of hours, it's very sad material, so there's always someone upset because it's really heavy stuff.
Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence.
I got out of college in 1997, and TV embraced me very quickly.
I had a soap opera, and my next job was working with Kyle McLachlan on The Invisible Man.
I needed to move, but I haven't had the time to find a place to go.
I try to watch the show every week and improve upon myself. I've become a fan.
I would love for TNT to run the whole season at one point. I don't think that'll ever happen, though.
I'm a great fan of Carey Lowell's and I loved Jill Hennessey.
I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.
It would probably break my heart to hear that people didn't like me. I don't look on the Internet.
It's really nice to pass the ball when you're in an ensemble cast.
Life came in and put me in front of the camera before I could really make a decision, but I think I probably would have gravitated to film.
That difficult place to put your finger on about the world - it needs to be illustrated.
What made me fall in love with acting, which is my life, was watching other people perform. It made me hunger to do that.
You get this real hunger to be able to be a conversationalist with your team, and that's made me much more active in modern politics.
They had New York gritty, darker people, and all of a sudden they decided to make a change and I couldn't be more happy. Because I got a job!
It really is long days and it was hard to adjust, but thank God, the previous year I had done Bull and Angel at the same time. That prepared me.
It's fun to watch the others take off and do their own story. This will be a fun story for the cops, because it's all about them.
I had been on a visible show, and Angel really drew a lot of attention for me. And then Bull kind of helped me further that. NBC was interested in me.
I don?t know, I guess life came in and put me in front of the camera before I could really make a decision about what I (wanted) but I think I probably would have gravitated to film.
Our goal as women should be to discover who we are and not who we think we should be or who the world wants us to be. It's not our responsibility to be arm candy!
