I took the role because it's rare to read a script that makes me laugh and cry, and it spoke to my own religious feelings, as well as giving me a chance to draw on my experience as a parent. Accepting it was a no-brainer. (Bull Deborah)
I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven. (Bull Deborah)
The process of doing plays will make you an actor. (Bull Deborah)
The script was just the best I'd read in a long time and I love the humor, which I wasn't expecting, and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being, you know, protected from it. (Bull Deborah)

There starts to be an overlap between you and the character. (Bull Deborah)
When you put a group of actors together who get along, and we have since day one, they don't become like their roles. What tends to happen is their age disappears and they all deal with each other as friends. (Bull Deborah)
You need to develop, somehow, a huge amount of faith and confidence in yourself, because there's a lot of rejection throughout an actor's life and you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else. (Bull Deborah)
I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity. (Bull Deborah)
Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That's why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there's a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad. (Bull Deborah)
In Hollywood if you're good looking, tall, have OK teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you're short and fat, it's a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already. (Bull Deborah)
For an actor, you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products, they're not turning down a car, they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way. (Bull Deborah)
Henry Fonda one time said that every time he had a job, he thought it was gonna' be the last one. And, if you got any sense, you gotta' think that because, you know when somebody's gonna do a dip, some of 'em go pretty far down. (Bull Deborah)
I think for the last fifteen, twenty years or so, Hollywood has underestimated the appeal of the Western. I think there is still a huge market. (Bull Deborah)
Even though these days I'm very selective about what roles I want to do, I will do Stargate anytime they call. (Bull Deborah)
I found out a long time ago that if I didn't have a good story for a song, I could just make one up! Now it seems over half the stories in my show are made up. The funny thing is, those seem to be the ones that resonate the most with the audiences. (Bull Deborah)
I much prefer playing the bad guys. I think they are always the most interesting characters. I liken it to painting: if you're playing the good guy, you get three colors: red, white and blue. But if you're the bad guy, you get the whole palette. (Bull Deborah)
I love playing other people's work. I love acting. (Bull Deborah)
I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house. (Bull Deborah)
I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975. (Bull Deborah)
I started acting professionally at age 19. (Bull Deborah)
That's the great thing about being an actor, you get to try out lots of things for your roles. (Bull Deborah)
As an actor you have one great fear: pimples! (Bull Deborah)
However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face! (Bull Deborah)
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby. (Bull Deborah)
I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible. (Bull Deborah)
