Quote

I had never even thought I'd be an actress - I was supposed to be a lawyer. But the motivation is the same: when you act, you defend a role; you have to be convincing. It's the same career.

I've wanted to be an actor for such a long time that I haven't had anything else in my thoughts. I think my family would have quite liked me to be a lawyer.

If things had gone according to my plans, I'd be a lawyer. I never dreamt of being an actress.

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground.

I've never worked on a lawyer show for a long time, but I imagine the actors all start acting like lawyers.

I played a lawyer in a movie, so, many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.

I'm a lawyer who, on occasion, represents celebrities.

I don't think I am an actress. I think I've created a brand and a business.

As an actress you can participate, you can be a co-author, help the director. But I always wanted to be able to make the big decisions.

I think when you play a role, you always have to be a defense attorney for that character.
