My only hesitation after 'Law & Order' was that I didn't want to be in a super dry procedural like that. I found that satisfying, but very tough because every episode was kind of the same. It just is with that show.

'Law & Order' was so very interesting to me because what I got to do was explore New York along with getting to work with some of the best actors New York City had to offer.

Nothing really compares to the original 'Law & Order.'

I wasn't so sure about signing up for 'Law & Order.' I liked the show, but another TV series? I'll tell you, though, it's been great, and I had no idea how popular the show was.

I left 'Law and Order' because I really honestly did want to do movies and did want to be a movie star since I was a little girl.

'Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.

I think people enjoyed LA Law so much, because it was the first show that delved into current events through the prism of the law.

I always saw law as a performance, just like being on a stage.

The friendships I made on 'L.A. Law,' with the cast and Steven Bochco and David Kelley were really wonderful.

Chick lit was amazing, and I was thrilled to be part of it.
