Deaf people can do anything, except hear.

There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well.

I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood.

Why are people so interested in other people's relationships? It's like stealing.

I'm different, and my manner invites questions. I'm never afraid to answer.

I hope that through my example, such as my role on 'The West Wing,' I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything... except hear.

When it comes down to it, it's about who you know, and who's a fan. It's about whether you're the right age, whether you're hot or not, whether the studio is into you or not.
