I have so much love that I didn't even know about.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom.

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read.

When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.

I'm living every ten-year-old boy's fantasy. The other day, Chris and I had this big scene where we had to pull out our guns, and I was thinking, 'Here we are in New York City - a place where every actor wants to be - and we are literally playing cops and robbers. How great is that?'

I think people were expecting me to be that kind of glamorous sexpot. So they were always, Wow you're not what I expected.

Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: Deliciusness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and other times you look like you got hit by a mack truck? I realized that my mack truck is food. If I have no sugar, yeast or wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect.

If I eat clean, I look 10 years younger.

I'm an L.A. girl who became a tough New York cop.

When I read the script sometimes, it's like 'Christ! Enough!' I can't sleep at night sometimes. There's the occasional script that just hammers you, that you can't shower off.

It's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.

I have so much love that I didn't even know about.

I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I wins.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is, if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone!

You make sacrifices to become a mother, but you really find yourself and your soul.

Every day is deeper and richer and more soulful.

Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.

I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I win.

I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.

If you stop for one second and do something, everyone is happy. You pay it forward and it comes back to you twelve-fold.

My weekends are extremely precious.

Of course everyone says they hate baby talk, but mine was not annoying.

Sometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.

There's the occasional script that just hammers you, that you can't shower off.

You've got to kick fear to the side, because the payoff is huge.

Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it deliciousness in the moment childhood memories and that grin inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

Its a lifes journey of finding ourselves finding our power and living for yourself not for everyone else.

Criminals are just regular people who didn't have time to read all the laws.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

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

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.
