I really didn't feel challenged anymore. I wanted to learn something and be excited again... While it can be a family - that environment is actually a family - in the sense that also you sometimes hate each other, you can't stand being around each other and grudges are held... I was getting cranky on 'Criminal Minds.

When I was asked to leave, I left... Then they made me come back. I did, and I decided to enjoy it. It was one year. I care about everyone at 'Criminal Minds' but I knew, in my heart, I had left.

True strength lies in our knowing, individually, what we are, who we are, and what we want.

Let's throw it on the wall and see if it sticks.

I had a stalker who was extremely violent. He broke into the studio with knives and I was locked in a bathroom.

I'm like this wiry freak they pulled out of a bar two months ago and said, 'Let's throw it on the wall and see if it sticks.'

If strength is measured by intelligence, honesty and depth of character, then yes, strong women are hot as hell.
