Wil Wheaton, Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes were all the early formidable crushes of my girlhood.
-
I love to simplify and edit the contents of just about anything, but women's closets hold particular appeal to me. I edit mine about four times a year and hold a yearly 'clothing swap' to encourage my girlfriends to do the same.
-
I like playing smart women very, very much because I definitely learn from them.
-
I relate to Nora's transformation in Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll's House,' and I also relate to both sisters' journeys in John Madden's film 'Proof.'
-
I gain a lot of confidence through study.
-
I've been acting since I was 7, and I always knew it was what I wanted to go into.
-
I think a lot of actors, we underprepare emotionally for how intense pilot season can be. And we underprepare the people around us, our support system. So when it starts taking up more time than you expect it to, we feel guilty.
-
Conflict is always fun to play.
-
Whatever you want your child to learn, you have to model that every day. There's no more waiting around. Once you have a child, there's no dress rehearsal anymore.
-
I've gone up to a random guy in a grocery store before and said, 'Hi, I think you're cute. Are you single?' I'm not smooth. I just put it out there.
-
You're not going to get every part, so you can't base your sense of self-worth around whether or not you actually land the job.
-
I'm such a dog person. I dunno, I just feel like it really enriches your life, to have something to care for.
-
When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.
-
I would love to do a big-budget movie musical - I feel like there is one big musical movie a year. And I'm always there at the theater to see them - I love them.
-
I love food and am very good at improvising when preparing it - it's a really creative experience for me.
-
I love being a mom - I really do! I didn't realize how much I would love it!
-
Oh my gosh, I would love to guest star on 'Entourage.'
-
I love to act because I love trying on other people's skin.
-
I like to play strong women.
-
After 'Entourage,' it completely opened up my casting within the industry. People saw me for a lot of roles that I hadn't been seen for before. Older roles. I went out this pilot season for a lot of lawyers and doctors. And cops - which I haven't quite mastered yet; I find that quite difficult.
