A lot of the tabloid stories are written so well, they're very clever and very funny. But you have to focus on what's really important and not read them - don't dive into it and don't get caught up in it.

Actually, I take it as a compliment. Diva is a derivative of divine. That's quite a title to carry around.

And when I first came out from New York, I hadn't driven in a long time. Now I'm like Joe Speedster.

But I don't like to, tell people how old I am. I like that to be a mystery.

But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities' personal lives.

For me it's mostly about the process, and once you shoot an episode, there's something anticlimactic about watching. I watched some of Ally. Sometimes I thought they were great and sometimes I couldn't bear watching myself. I have to watch it at the right time of day. I certainly can't watch a show I'm in before I go to bed. It would drive me crazy. -- on if she ever watches herself on TV

I am definitely a dog person. I feel like Webster and I are very much alike.

I don't see it, but I'm flattered nonetheless. To look like Michelle Pfeiffer is quite nice.

I don't think I ever felt that way. As an actress, you want to play many different parts, and you want to explore different sides of yourself. So in that way, yes, but never in a negative way. I took a break to be a full-time mom. -- on taking time off after "Ally McBeal" ended

I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.

I embrace everything about Ally... I don't particularly see her as a whiner. One week she's tough, the next she's really weak. I love that. She's human. - (About her character from Ally McBeal)

I got a call from a girlfriend in L.A. She was also an actress, doing what they refer to as "pilot season." She had read the script and she called me about it, and then I called my agent and he said, "Oh, yeah, I saw that and I passed." [Beat] And I said, "Oh, well maybe we should revisit it." So I did. I eventually flew out and screen-tested, and I got the part. -- on how she got "Ally McBeal"
