After six wonderful years playing Emily Prentiss, I have decided it's time for me to move on. As much as I will miss my Criminal Minds family, I am excited about the future and other opportunities.

I'm not a super-actorly actor, my-body-is-an-instrument type of person, but I do want to do fun, exciting, interesting things. I have a 2001 PT Cruiser. I saved my money so I can take my time and choose something that I think is great, and that's what I'm waiting for.

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

I know how to fake someone out, if they break into my house, into thinking there are other people there.

I like everybody at 'Criminal Minds.' I would like to guest star, but I don't know if that is in the cards.

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

If you try to break into my house, you will be severely lacerated and possibly electrocuted, and I'm fine with that. Because if you're breaking into my house, you're on your own.
