JULIE BOWEN

I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on.

I always come across sounding like I hate my children. I actually love them very much.

As I have gotten older, I've discovered the joys of being lazy.

People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.

I consider a day without running a crappy day. When I don't get to run, I am a grump, but some days my schedule just doesn't allow me to.

I haven't really had that many opportunities to play 'lead' so I guess I jumped at the chance. I have also never done any 'sci-fi' projects and thought it might be fun.

I've worn some ugly shoes.

I feel the most pulled together when I'm going for the tomboyish thing.

Sometimes good enough is good enough.

I consider a day without running a crappy day.

I would like to say that I am a very relaxed, loving person who is not competitive, but that's a lie!

I read books more than I go out.

I've loved doing 'E.R.' for the quality of the writing and the great people I get to work with.

I had many decades of me time and now I just don't have that anymore. There are days when I rail against it.

Baltimore is a great place.

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

I'm incredibly lucky.

There's an expression: Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes in trying to be great, you make a mess of things.

People always tell me I have a lot of guy energy.

I'm on a strict gossip diet. No gossip websites, no gossip magazines. Otherwise, I find it paralyzing to exist.

Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.

I play a scientist in a futuristic world in which 99% of the men have been wiped out. As a result, the women are nearly all homosexuals and the children are cloned.

You don't want people to suffer or get fat when they're pregnant.

I don't always run in the mornings, but I am definitely better if I run in the mornings.
