It's amazing what sleep does for your looks.
I'm never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor.
The only important thing in this life is to figure out how to use the experiences that you have to make the world a better place.
As comfortable as I was with my adoption, the nature-versus-nurture question has been a big one for me. I adore my parents, but I always wondered if I would feel a different kind of love-not more or less, just different-for someone who was biologically related.
What I know from my friends who are cops is they keep their houses very clean, because they say you never know if you're coming back or not.
My cat, Kevin, has adorable habits - he waits for me while I'm showering because he loves to have his face washed when I'm done. And he also knows I keep treats for him beside the bed; he loves his treat at night before he goes to sleep - you know, like all men!
Rob Lowe is a sportsman and a ladykiller and it's impossible to be in a scene with him and not immediately begin to play tennis.
It was the first time, in the West Wing, I had ever read anyone write a Southerner properly. Because Southern women, in my opinion, are complicated and are equally feminine and driven. That's kind of an unusual combination and people usually tend to get it wrong.
I always felt my emancipation into truly being a grown-up was when I had to figure out how to fold up a king-size fitted bottom sheet on my own.
It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.
I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it’s a really incredible feeling. I’m so grateful I get to experience this.
It's not a bad idea to be single, so I can concentrate on my job.
I've always known I was adopted.
I always wear high heels.
180 episodes of 'CSI: Miami' and never the same lipstick twice!
I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.
It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.
My house is very serious. It's a lot of antiques, and the way I decided to liven it up is, I paired it very vibrant colors and - bugs I think that they're pretty. And I think that they're fascinating and they're natural.
If you live in a small space, you should do the things that make it feel luxurious.
I couldn't wait to look at someone who shared my genes. I thought my baby was going to provide a decoder key to my past. But then I looked at Pippa and realized, no, she's actually the key to my future.
I feel like 'CSI: Miami' was just a license to do all sorts of horrible things that I'd always wanted to do.
Before you're a mom you don't know what gear is going to be relevant.
Getting pregnant wasn't easy, and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.
Having a crying baby is inspiration to get the job done quickly.
I'm very self-conscious having my picture taken, so I clown around. My driver's license photo looks like a blonde Elvis.
