It took a long time to get out of my contract. The producers thought I was negotiating for more money.

There's only so much you can do with an attorney on a show that's about New York policemen.

It's amazing how everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life.

Why does anybody want to be famous? You know what's important to me? Having lunch! Pasta! Seeing my friends! Is that so crazy?

I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.

It took the producers a while to realize I wanted a full-bodied life. I wanted to get out before I felt I'd sacrificed so much to get somewhere that I couldn't afford to leave.

You can't mess up. If you do, everyone wants to kill you.
