No day would be complete without chocolate. My favorite: Vosges Creole bar – it’s dark chocolate with cocoa nibs. Holy Toledo, that thing is good. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
I just think there’s always room for humanity in acting, one can only hope, so when you bring in the whole life of a person that’s playing a character, then surprises happen and are allowed to happen, and so it makes it more interesting. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
You know, it’s scary when you sign onto a pilot of a series because, as much as you want the series to go, you also want it to be a character that you’d be interested in playing for a long time. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
There are so many good roles for women out there, I don’t understand it when people say the role choices are fewer as you get older. I find the opposite to be true – there are less good roles out there for the hot 20-year-olds because the normal girl parts just aren’t interesting. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote

Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it, but it’s not right for everybody. It’s taught to you a little bit at a time, according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
I heard I won ‘best butt crack’ on television recently. It’s true. I did it, you guys. I made it. I wish I got an award, the actual award. What would it look like? Of course, it’s a closed set. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
At work, we have fantastic catering people. They feed the cast and crew all day, and they’re sensitive to the needs of picky vegetarians like me. They have delicious salads. I keep mine simple: romaine lettuce, avocado, baked tofu, carrots, tomatoes and Asian dressing. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
I don’t think that anyone can prepare for raising a child. I think it’s one of those jobs that is far more overwhelming than you could ever expect and far more satisfying than you can ever expect. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
I’ve always thrown myself into different kinds of experiences, sometimes into really bad things. But, you grow up. You become more of a woman and you know yourself. I think knowing yourself is a wonderful thing especially when you’re in your 40s and you’re kind of in your skin. Life is not so confusing anymore. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
