I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.

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.

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 great fan of Carey Lowell's and I loved Jill Hennessey.

Better to just be real. Show up and do your job and be a nice person.

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.

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.

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 got out of college in 1997, and TV embraced me very quickly.

I try to watch the show every week and improve upon myself. I've become a fan.

I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner.

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.

Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence.

I needed to move, but I haven't had the time to find a place to go.

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 never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student.

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've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.

What made me fall in love with acting, which is my life, was watching other people perform. It made me hunger to do that.

I would love for TNT to run the whole season at one point. I don't think that'll ever happen, though.

It's really nice to pass the ball when you're in an ensemble cast.

It would probably break my heart to hear that people didn't like me. I don't look on the Internet.

I had a soap opera, and my next job was working with Kyle McLachlan on The Invisible Man.

I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are.

That difficult place to put your finger on about the world - it needs to be illustrated.

I have a lot of courage. I'm a realist.

Youve got to clock the hours and pay your dues. Then eventually people will come to you. You have to be patient and appreciative.

That difficult place to put your finger on about the world it needs to be illustrated.

The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

I believe that if a man does a job as well as a woman, he should be paid as much.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

What becomes a crime deserving capital punishment when the tables are turned is a matter of small moment when the negro woman is the accusing party.

There is a neurologist, a woman over at Harvard who wanted me to come talk to them, and in France I have a lot of readers in the sciences. I can't tell you why.

Has made an honest woman of the supernatural.

A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same rights as man. An intelligent woman gives up.

I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.

Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.

We say of an animal that it is intelligent, and we say the same thing of a woman; but in neither case is it usually appropriate, clearly for very different reasons.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

I would not like to be the only woman on the court.

There is no corner too quiet, or too far away, for a woman to make sorrow in it.

If he didn't fall in love he would have never come back near the end of the film. Because, what man is going to dishonor himself so that he comes back in front of the man that took a woman away from him... and warns her to save her life?

One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.

Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

There is no such thing as a dangerous woman; there are only susceptible men.

No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I'm the invisible woman.
