Jorja: (joking on her personal style) Usually I’m tired, I haven’t slept, I’m drinking six cups of coffee a day.
Jorja: (on how she unwinds) I love massage. That’s my big thing, even if I’m going to the spa, I’ll almost always go for the massage over any other treatment.
Jorja: (On Grissom revealing their relationship) Yea, I leave him alone for five minutes and he tells everyone that were having this fabulous little secret love affair...assuming that you know Sara makes it out ok, who knows whats going to happen.
Jorja: (On Grissom and Sara's romance on
Jorja: (On her toughest character to play) The character that had most training [was probably] Gina Toscano – she was one of two hundred people on the planet that knew how to do what she did. So that was really cool to play her.
Jorja: If you just cut down [on meat] or tried [vegetarianism], you might find that you love it. And the list of things that you’d be doing positively to affect the planet and the next seven generations that come after you is humongous.
Jorja: (regarding Sara & Grissom being together on
Jorja: In terms of
Jorja: (On the opening credits of
Jorja: (when asked if anyone had ever made a charming play on her last name how they were rewarded) I stayed for breakfast.
Jorja: (on the worst smelling thing in the lab) Burned human skin. Sometimes we wish the show were scratch-and-sniff, because we have to pretend that we're encountering bad smells all the time. Maybe that's for season four or five.
Jorja: (on the
Jorja: (on what she likes to splurge on) Chocolate, coffee, pizza. And beer. I could show you my six-pack, which is not like most actresses' six-packs in this town!
Jorja: It's a dream and a joy to work with
Jorja: (on what she would be doing if she wasn't an actress) I have no idea. I have no job skills. I was actually discovered when I was 15 in this really little town in Florida. I was at the mall one day and I got an opportunity to go to New York City and do some modeling, which was great. That paid my rent for a couple of years.
Jorja: (on marriage) Just to think about it gives me heart palpitations. It's like I can't breathe. It sends shivers down my spine! But I still believe in true love.
Jorja: I worked at a kennel for a long time. That was probably one of the best jobs I've ever had but definitely one of the more obscure.
Jorja: (on
Jorja: (when asked whose celebrity closet she would like to raid) Prince's. All the sequins and the velvet? That would be fabulous.
Jorja: (On working with bugs on
Jorja: (on plans beyond
Jorja: (On being a
Jorja: (when asked what she liked most about her character) I love that I’m playing someone who’s like worlds smarter than I am! It’s a really great feeling that - always a good reason to get out of bed, like 'I went to Harvard and Berkeley and studied physics, nuclear fission…'
Jorja: I‘m sure now that grieving and healing are the same thing sometimes, and magic and death are the same thing sometimes, and trusting and failing are the same thing sometimes.
Jorja: (following 9/11) I grew up believing my generation would be better. We would be kinder, we would be more level-headed. We would be more loving. And so many people are missing.
Jorja: I'd do a nude scene for world peace or if I were facing some serious jail time, but I'm also a sucker for a good bottle of wine and candlelight.
Jorja: I have just completed my 10th year on prime-time television and I thought to myself over the years that it would be really cool to do 10 years on TV, hit the mark and think about things. So from this point on, there’s no script. It’s unchartered territory.
Jorja: (On playing out the Sara and Grissom relationship) You have to think all over again, really who is this person and how would she respond and how would she be in this situation. Because she had a couple of boyfriends that she liked, but her sights have sort of always been on this one man.
