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

Of course, actors look forward to the day when they can do a big courtroom scene.

In the courtroom, it's where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There's a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I've always felt that way - I've been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.

You see, some lawyers have the talent, have the charisma, but no discipline. They come into court unprepared, without having done their research.

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.

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

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

Honestly, I'm not a massive fan of courtroom dramas.

I think actors do make really, really wonderful directors.

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