Gabrielle Anwar

Gabrielle: I'm a mass of contradictions and a hypocrite at the same time. What a mess!

(on working in Miami) Gabrielle: I actually love it. I would much rather be too hot than too cold. I'm perfectly happy melting all day long.

Gabrielle: At the end of the day I feel I've been independent, steadfast and proud. Unfortunately for a woman, that equals bitch or diva. For a man it seems to elicit respect ... I can't raise children without teaching them that what is important to somebody is worth fighting for, even if it means putting your career on the back-burner and having it fizzle and burn.

Gabrielle: Being married is something I don't care to repeat because, for me, it's been an idea of something that is an unfair ritual.

Gabrielle: (on playing Fiona in "Burn Notice") This is one of the few scripts I've read that not only encompassed humor, emotion and action, but had a multifaceted female lead. Fiona is that rare opportunity to indulge all ingredients to make someone a delectable, bittersweet and complex meal of a woman.

Gabrielle: Yoga is the only form of exercise I have ever understood. I would rather naturally birth quadruplets than step inside a gym.

Gabrielle: I've been hounded by a reputation of being difficult when really what I'm being is truthful and honest.

Gabrielle: To this day, I think if I stop I'm going to end up in some establishment somewhere.
