ADD QUOTES
- Lisa Edelstein: (About the dynamic between House and Cuddy) It is very much like a husband-wife relationship, like people who have been together 50 years. There's a lot of bickering, but a lot of love underneath it. The way you could fight with somebody because you know the foundation is firm. I love their complicated relationship. I love how it's slowly becoming unfurled, how the dynamic is becoming more and more layered. I'm eager to see where (the writers) go with it, because it just gets more and more interesting. I love working with Hugh, too. We have a really nice chemistry together and we have a lot of fun. So the more the better.

- Lisa Edelstein: I always assumed I'd be doing toothpaste commercials. The problem was, I always made commercial copy sound psychotic. I guess that's how I found my way here.

- Lisa Edelstein: (after going to bed with Rob Lowe on The West Wing) Being with Rob Lowe was very exciting because I was in love with him when I was a girl. And I must admit James Spader is pretty sexy, too.
