I became disillusioned with dance when I was 16 and started focusing on acting.

I moved to New York between my junior and senior years of high school to just see what it was like, to go to a modeling agency and see how to get representation.

From Teri Polo

In Hollywood, most things are based on looks, so I'd love to do something that has nothing to do with how I look.

From Teri Polo

My husband and I went to Bald Head Island for our four-year anniversary. We spent the night in bed with champagne, tequila and Krispy Kreme doughnuts and watched a boxing match on Showtime.

From Teri Polo

I never got picked on, but I never had a lot of friends. When I talked to my parents about it, they said, 'They're just jealous because you're beautiful and talented.' It was probably one of the worst things they could have told me, because I became self-conscious.

From Teri Polo

I love New York. I love the people. I love the anonymity.

From Teri Polo

In some instances, I don't care what people think. In other instances, I do - especially because of the stereotype. People take a look at me and say, 'She's cute. She's blond. She's an actress. She's a bimbo.' You know? So I take great pains to show I'm intelligent, to show I'm not a twinkie.

From Teri Polo

There are people who fly to the height of stardom in a single day, and then there are people like me. I used to have this ridiculous idea that I absolutely had to be a big, big movie star. Now all I'm after is happiness.

From Teri Polo

It's my favorite role - being a mom.

From Teri Polo

I will read four or five books at the same time.
