The casting directors that were aware of 'The Real World' looked at me as a joke. It was so hard to get away from that.

I view my career like a rubber-band ball in that every role is a new experience building toward something bigger.

I love photography, I love food, and I love traveling, and to put those three things together would just be the ultimate dream.

I feel like always wanting more... that's how you grow and learn. You can't just be satisfied with where you are. There's so much more to learn and consume.

To be honest with you, I'm more of a girl's girl. I'm much more comfortable being around other girls.

If acting doesn't work out, I plan to do food photography and just eat my way through the entire world. I'm a big foodie, and if I could make some career out of it, that would be fantastic.

I didn't want to be known as the reality-show star trying to be an actress, so I kept a lot of the failed auditions to myself.

Appreciating what I have is my medicine.

Everybody trusts a guy in a raincoat. I don't know why. It's just one of those mystery facts.

I remain on SVU because it is an incredible opportunity.

Upon becoming fifty the one thing you can't afford is habit.

Oh, well, my first love is comedy or singing and dancing.

My feeling is if you're going to be a leader, you have to carefully assess where people are and where people want to go.

Philanthropic people lose all sense of humanity. It is their distinguishing characteristic.

Took your car, drove to Texas. Sorry honey, but I suspected, you and I can't cry anymore.
