- Quote: "I think what’s very interesting about television in general is that you’re given an opportunity to explore characters over a long period of time․"
- Quote: "As a woman, I think there are better opportunities in TV․ If you’re not literally like one of three actresses who are able to be in leading roles, then you’re sort of relegated to these three-scene, stereotypical parts in films․"
- Quote: "You have to know people that you can call on for support․ People get into trouble when they think that they’re alone in what they’re going through or what they’re experiencing․"
