- Teri Polo: For 18 and a ½ years I've been cast as the girl next door. I'm a full-blooded, sexual American woman and I've always seen myself as being pretty darn hot. It was an amazing experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. (speaking on her decision to pose for Playboy).

- Teri Polo: When I first got out [to L.A.] I tried dressing like a hoochie. I tried acting like a hoochie, but it didn't work. I guess I'm just not a hoochie at heart.
