Actress

I spent every day just praying that I didn't look like a big dork on camera.

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 love talking about myself.

To put me through school my morn had to work, so I was a latchkey kid.

I don't have a problem with my body. I don't diet, and I'm not hiding anything. I'm not going to be the subject of a movie of the week 10 years from now.

I still sweat bullets if I go on The Tonight Show, but I tell myself, You can either have fun tonight or you can be shy and miserable. You ask my friends or anyone I work with now - nobody would say I was shy.

I've dated men my age, younger than me and older. The only difference is the young ones are quicker at taking out the garbage.

But I know somebody who has a bedside urinal. How do I compete with that?

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground.

You know, the bigger you get and the more success you have, the more people you can fill your house with to tell you how great you are. You can do that.

I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

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.

I am a very selfish person.

Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.

As soon as you get over caring what people think, you can have a nice time.

I had so many freckles that my mother used to say that they were kisses from the angels. I still have them.

Everybody wants to solve everybody's problems.

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 love receiving fan mail.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.
