I would have gone to law school, or gotten a psychology degree. I wasn't interested in sleeping on a futon forever. And what happened is I walked into auditions, and I had nothing to lose, because I had a backup plan.

I think the whole under-eye-bag thing is hereditary, and I just got lucky.

TV is a much more female-friendly environment.

I love being my husband's wife.

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.

The power of saying no is so much more than the power of saying yes.

Do what you love doing.
