QUOTES:

In court [on the Judging Amy (1999) set], I am completely at ease. And that’s just because I’m imitating my mother.

I know for me, a lot of my 20s was about going off and proving that I wasn’t like my mother. I was so different, I wasn’t going to do anything like her. And then, we all know, you fall flat on your face, because you’re exactly like your parents.

I was very surprised how controversial it [her nude scene on “NYPD Blue”] was, with entire cities not running it – especially because I knew the scenes weren’t gratuitous.

I go to a wonderful Episcopalian church, but I’m also half-Jewish. I’m a real polyglot.

[speaking with Ability Magazine] I started doing plays when I was in seventh grade and I never stopped.
