Julianna Margulies

I know this is going to sound corny, but I love my life. I love my baby, so I love getting to wake up with him. And I have the most amazing job, with writing that any actor would love and costars who I can't wait to see on Monday mornings. And I love coming home to my husband.

That's what I love about acting, you get to find little pieces of yourself in every character you play.

I'm one of those strange people: I really love going to the gym.

Do what you love doing.

I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny, because when we found out we were pregnant, I said, 'Okay, let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.

I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible, and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow.

It might be scary because you're taking a risk, but at the end of the day you can say you tried.

I'm a believer in 'Ignorance is bliss.'

I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.

I've done so many independent movies I'm sure no one will ever see, but I've loved the work.

If you walk down the street and smile at someone, that will get passed on to the next person. That has the power to change someone's day.

I'm the kind of person who always has to be on time and I'm incredibly professional.
