I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible, and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow.

I'd rather go back to waitressing than play a character that I hate.

I love being one half of a romantic couple.

If you walk down the street and smile at someone, that will get passed on to the next person. That has the power to change someone's day.

You do your best work when you feel safe.

What a wonderful time for women on television.

The Emmys are honestly very unpredictable. I mean, have you looked at my Emmy record? I was nominated 6 times for ER and won once.
