Better to just be real. Show up and do your job and be a nice person.
Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence.
I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner.
I do walk around with my Black's Law Dictionary so I know I'm not missing anything.
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 got out of college in 1997, and TV embraced me very quickly.
I had a soap opera, and my next job was working with Kyle McLachlan on The Invisible Man.
I had been on a visible show, and Angel really drew a lot of attention for me. And then Bull kind of helped me further that. NBC was interested in me.
I have a lot of courage. I'm a realist.
I needed to move, but I haven't had the time to find a place to go.
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 think that's a big part about why people leave acting, because this is grueling.
I try to watch the show every week and improve upon myself. I've become a fan.
I was a history major. I think in a lot of ways I've always been in love with the past, just the romanticism of another era.
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 went to college at Sarah Lawrence.
I went to the screen test with four other girls. There was a beautiful Indian woman, some brunettes, and a black actress. I was the oddball.
I worked in a museum. I was never much of a television person, but I love TV now.
I would love for TNT to run the whole season at one point. I don't think that'll ever happen, though.
I'm a great fan of Carey Lowell's and I loved Jill Hennessey.
I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are.
I've become a more grounded person through this experience. And intellectually it's made me much more aware of current affairs.
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.
I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.
It really is long days and it was hard to adjust, but thank God, the previous year I had done Bull and Angel at the same time. That prepared me.
It would probably break my heart to hear that people didn't like me. I don't look on the Internet.
It's fun to watch the others take off and do their own story. This will be a fun story for the cops, because it's all about them.
It's really nice to pass the ball when you're in an ensemble cast.
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.
Right now, I'm moving from Wall Street. I've been living downtown and I just love it. It's the original New York.
That difficult place to put your finger on about the world - it needs to be illustrated.
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.
They had New York gritty, darker people, and all of a sudden they decided to make a change and I couldn't be more happy. Because I got a job!
What made me fall in love with acting, which is my life, was watching other people perform. It made me hunger to do that.
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 don't just want to improve in your craft and intelligence, you want to improve your whole life, who you are as a soul.
You get this real hunger to be able to be a conversationalist with your team, and that's made me much more active in modern politics.
You have a real place of respect when you are greenlit by someone who is older than you who you really respect.
You never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student.
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.
