Everybody said, 'You hit it so big when you were on 'Ally McBeal.' ' I didn't do anything for a year after 'Ally McBeal,' and I had to write David Kelley to get myself back on 'Ally' a second time because I thought the character should be on again.

Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.
All those rumors about her being underweight are trash. She's [Calista Flockhart] gorgeous.
The biggest similarity between me and my character is that we've both played clubs for 20 years. In real life, the clubs aren't quite as controlled - and my hair isn't quite as in place as it is on 'Ally McBeal.'
I have a big, long episode [in Full Circle] with Calista [Flockhart], and then my character actually carries out through a lot of it because he was a cop investigating this crime. But it is almost hard to remember, even though it wasn't that long ago. We shot it so fast. We literally shot that whole episode in one day.
I wanted to become a lawyer because I saw Kelly McGillis on 'The Accused.' 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'L.A. Law,' 'Ally McBeal' - all of these have inspired women to go into law. I think the opposite is happening in technology.
If I had been on 'Ally McBeal,' I would have been seen coming out of the shower on the first show.
I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of 'Ally McBeal.' Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald.
If there's a character type I despise, it's the all-capable, all-knowing, physically perfect protagonist. My idea of hell would be to be trapped in a four-hundred page, first-person, first-tense, running monologue with a character like that. I think writers who produce characters along those lines should graduate from high school and move on.
My stint with 'Ally McBeal' is something I never planned nor expected.
Ally McBeal walks down the streets crying, looking for the right man. I don't do that.
It's something like 70% of American adults are obese, and the rest of them are women on Ally McBeal.
I'd love to do a court-room drama. I loved 'Ally McBeal.' That was one of the main reasons I went to law school.
We read five words on the first page of a really good novel and we begin to forget that we are reading printed words on a page; we begin to see images.
Every person's body chemistry is different. The effect of one single drug that appeals to me might have a different effect on someone else. There's no way to tell what the perfect psychedelic drug would be, because it would be perfect for only you.
