Lara Flynn Boyle

But I know somebody who has a bedside urinal. How do I compete with that?

Everybody wants to solve everybody's problems.

Oh, I don't talk about Jack and me. Some things are too good to share.

I remember doing the sex scene in Red Rock West. I had to kiss Nic Cage and then look like I was going down on him. And he couldn't do anything - he just had to lie there.

I still sweat bullets if I go on The Tonight Show, but I tell myself, You can either have fun tonight or you can be shy and miserable. You ask my friends or anyone I work with now - nobody would say I was shy.

As soon as you get over caring what people think, you can have a nice time.

I love receiving fan mail.

I've had Irish skin from the time I was a young girl.

I had never watched a law show prior to being cast on The Practice.

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.

Being Irish was a big thing for me, particularly growing up in Chicago.

To put me through school my morn had to work, so I was a latchkey kid.

I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

And I don't believe that women can successfully have it all. I really don't.

I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it's just an idea.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

She comes from the Midwest. She had me at a very young age and raised me on her own. She's a very hard worker.

I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person.

You can get through your whole day only around people who will tell you that you're wonderful. But pretty soon they're going to have to be lying about that.
