Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Julianna Margulies: (on her CBS TV series The Good Wife moving from Tuesdays at 10pm to Sundays at 9pm) I'm thrilled. At first I was taken aback because you always think a move is a bad sign. And then I started thinking about it -- this was all in the span of like five minutes -- and I was like wait, that was The Sopranos spot. That's like my favorite time to watch television... Hold on a minute, this opens a whole door to the kinds of people that we want to attract to our show: a younger audience and an older audience, because a younger audience, young people can stay up at nine, and old people can stay up at nine... what it also does is, you can't really categorize our show. We're not a procedural, we're not a serial, we're a legal, political, human show, and any given week can be something else, and I think it allows us not to be pigeonholed.

Julianna Margulies: (on her character Alicia Florrick in the TV series The Good Wife) The thing I love about Alicia is that she isn't someone who has a knee-jerk reaction... Even in the moment where she wants to be swept up, she's thinking logically... There's something old-fashioned about her. I really do feel like she went from a Leave It to Beaver... [and] is realizing that you can't always be good. (thedailybeast.com; November 15, 2010)

Julianna Margulies: I've never been one to do anything for the money. If a movie isn't something I want, I will turn it down. I follow my heart, and it always leads me to who I want to be. (CityBeat; Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 2000)

Julianna Margulies: I don't want to crash and burn before I've gotten to where I want to go. I want to enjoy the ride. (Entertainment Weekly; June 7, 1996)
