Personal Quotes
As soon as I read the script I knew it was pretty special. The creator of the show asked what I thought of the writing as a whole. I told him I had no idea because I'd only read my part. He laughed and told me I'd got the job. He thought my answer was completely "Gabrielle" On how she got the part as "Gabrielle Solis" on "Desperate Housewives" (2004).
I didn't really blossom until my mid teens and by that time I had to work on my personality to make people like me. I found it easy to make people laugh and I was always pretty popular
I love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to exude. But the best thing about being a woman is the power we have over men.
I love men, I love being in love and having romantic dates
"I'm a fabulous date, I make sure I look good, I like hearing what a guy has to say and I make sure the evening is a real laugh. I like to laugh." On going out on a date.
I'm a late bloomer, my looks came pretty late and success happened at the age of 30. But I'm pleased about things not coming to me immediately because it makes you appreciate it when you finally get it
I'm definitely no Bridget Jones. I don't believe in that whole 'oh there are no decent men out there' thing. Get real girls- there are loads of gorgeous guys on every street corner
"I'm totally blown away by the success of "Desperate Housewives" (2004).
"It literally did happen overnight" On her success from "Desperate Housewives" (2004).
"That whole T-Shirt thing was just a bit of a joke. I did it for a laugh. I never expected my picture to be on the front pages of newspapers and magazines all over the world. It was just something me and my girlfriends thought was funny." On wearing the 'I'll have your baby Brad' T-Shirt.
"I do like British guys. If I had to pick one it would be Ewan McGregor. I met him once and he was gorgeous even if he is a little short. He has the most amazing charisma".
It would be nice to go out on a date with Brad Pitt but I'm not going to cry about it. There are plenty of other guys out there.
I don't agree with all the boundaries we put on everything. Women are forever discounting men for all sorts of silly reasons - too old, too young, wrong haircut. Give the guy a chance and he may surprise you. I've definitely been pleasantly surprised by my choices and I've always had plenty of choice.
Believe me, I would shout it from the highest mountain. I married before when I was too young and eloped to Vegas. This time I'd love to have an engagement and a big wedding and do it properly. On marrying again
Surely there are more beautiful women in the world. I can name 10.
"I'm like "Blanche" on "The Golden Girls" (1985). I have a good head on my shoulders but, once in a while, a man will come and knock the sense out of me".
I've always been desperate to be a pussycat. And here I am, a bona fide, show- stopping pussycat.
I hate the kissing...we don't talk about it because it's just not a comfortable thing to talk about - On why she doesn't discuss her on-screen kisses with Tony Parker.
I love learning, I'm like a sponge.
