"Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters"

"Reputation is what others think of us; character is what God knows of us.

"'24' is a pretty serious show - there isn't a lot of improv that is happening. Having said that, I do play around with the delivery. A lot of the humor comes from playing a character who is very furious and really up in her own brain and in a serious situation. That is humorous to me."
