Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Laura Allen: (When asked by TV Guide.com what it was like working with Mahershalalhashbaz Ali again in "The 4400".) I adore that guy. He's left the show now as well, and he's doing great. We actually knew each other before The 4400, so he's like an old friend now.
-
Laura Allen: (When asked by TV Guide.com if she'll be back on "Dirt".) Yes, we go back to work in October. There's a cliff-hanger going on there, a stabbing between myself and Courteney Cox's character. It is undetermined who really got the knife.
-
Laura Allen: (On Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston's kiss on "Dirt".) Courteney has some steamy sex scenes. This was actually really tame.
-
Laura Allen: (On Jennifer Anniston also quitting caffeine.) I had a Diet Coke on-set, and she was really jonesing for it.
-
Laura Allen: (On Jennifer Aniston quitting smoking on the set of "Dirt".) Jen was doing a total cleansing and did a lot of yoga to stop smoking. Between takes, it would have been tempting to go outside and have a cigarette. Instead, Jen was clinging to Courteney. She said how hard it was.
-
Laura: If I could time travel I would go back to high school. I would tell myself not to do certain things.
-
Laura: (about her NYPD domestic abuse counselor job) It's frustrating because you don't know if [the victim's] safe tonight.
-
Laura: (on her NYPD domestic violence job) Domestic violence is such a private issue. Getting inside the victim's home and into their business is a really hard thing to do.
