Quotes:
  • It’s a dream and a joy to work with William Petersen. He is funny, he is very smart, and he is wild! William Petersen is maybe one of my all time heroes.
  • (On Marg on-set filming the squeamish scenes) Marg is one of the strongest and toughest women I’ve ever met.
  • I would probably put me in the extreme low maintenance category.
  • I think I have been in love with every one of my co-stars at a different time or another.
  • (On Grissom revealing their relationship) Yea, I leave him alone for five minutes and he tells everyone that were having this fabulous little secret love affair…assuming that you know Sara makes it out ok, who knows whats going to happen.
  • Sara is my favorite character I’ve ever played. It’s a joy every single week to get to go to work and be that person…I still feel like there’s a pretty healthy sense of mystery around her after six years. It’s a testament to the writers that there are still some secrets and some parts of her and puzzles of her own that people would like to know more about.
