People who have no idea it's me when they first see me playing something, and later they realize, 'That's her from whatever it is,' it's a great compliment that they can forget.

I always thought I was a little shy, especially compared to my brother and my sister, but I guess I was always the kid doing performances in the front room.

The one thing about being on 'ER' that has changed is that I'm more easily recognizable.

Just because someone isn't working at an office doesn't mean they're not working hard at something.

I think everyone feels lost at times during their high school years.

I'm trying not to put pressure on myself to decide what to do at this moment, and just sort of go with what's happening.

You know, the hard thing about audiences not liking what a character does is that they sometimes take it out on the actor personally. That's something that you know when you become an actor or actress, but it's always hard to deal with when it actually happens.
