#Quote
1I love clothes that when you put them on, you feel like you. I don't care whether anyone else likes them. (Woman's World magazine 1-31-06)
2[on her marriage breakup and lack of career prospects] I was in some deeply, deeply sad places. I wanted something to be solid for Emerson. When I was crying there, I was feeling I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage for much longer -- there was a lot of money that I'd had that I didn't have anymore. That was a low point.
3[on turning 40] I feel more comfortable with myself now. I don't know if I feel sexier. I feel more whole.
4[on her marriage to Jon Tenney] I was consumed with being a mom. I didn't think beyond that.
5Let me just say that every cover of every magazine I've done has been airbrushed to death. No woman should walk around thinking that's what they should be. You shouldn't be beating yourself up.
6[on her audition for Desperate Housewives (2004)] I had to test, the whole rigmarole, but it was one of the greatest auditions I ever had. I left the building knowing I had this.
7What's good about talking about being victimized is that it is the beginning of being able to stop it.
8Despite the fact that I have a good-size pair of breasts ... in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993), I have the opportunity to show the world they're not my only attribute.
9My advice, be healthy, reach your own goals, and don't be afraid to impersonate an SNL star. (AOL 7/96)
