I think the lawyers are such incredible actors. Can you imagine the performance they have to do every day?

I've never played an attorney, and I'd like to do so on a show like 'The Practice' or 'Law & Order.'

Well, I think that there is a connection between being a lawyer and a doctor and an actor. They kind of, in some ways, have the same appeal, I suppose.

I think if I weren't an actress, I might have made a halfway decent attorney! I like the way they think.

There are some lawyers who think of themselves as basically instruments of whoever their clients are, and they pride themselves on their professional craft.

I think lawyers have a fidelity to the system itself that's always got to be with them, and indeed, most of the defense lawyers I know observe that.

Paul Haggis, who's now a big movie guy, cast me as a lawyer in 'Family Law.' When that series ended, I thought that I would be going on more auditions and booking more jobs, but everything just came to a screeching halt.

Lawyers are like beavers: They get in the mainstream and dam it up.

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.

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
