| Quotes: |
I'm usually the victim, the one who gets beat on.
<br />
<hr>
[about The Division (2001)] I hope we're put in the same league as other cop shows. Female or male, it's the same job. Hopefully, we will be able to hold our heads up high and be considered among the best shows, like NYPD Blue (1993).
<br />
<hr>
[on ambition] I don't really think that way. If I were to cross the river tomorrow, I'd think I had had as good a time here [on earth] as people could have. I'm enjoying the day and watching how things evolve.
<br />
<hr>
[on The Facts of Life (1979)] We went through puberty on camera. The audience saw us go through our ugliest times and come out all right. |
