 I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner. |
| I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are. |
| 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'm a great fan of Carey Lowell's and I loved Jill Hennessey. |
| It would probably break my heart to hear that people didn't like me. I don't look on the Internet. |

| Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence. |
| You never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student. |
| I had a soap opera, and my next job was working with Kyle McLachlan on The Invisible Man. |
| 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. |
| It's really nice to pass the ball when you're in an ensemble cast. |
