• About her sexy portrayal of a mother on GILMORE GIRLS: "One of the things I like about the show is it redefines the idea of what it is to be a mother, which at its most basic level is to take care of a child. It doesn't mean you have to look like the ladies in the Lysol commercials."
• About sharing the same initials with her character (Lorelai Gilmore): "It means that if the show gets cancelled, I keep all the monogrammed towels."
• About being cast as the lead character on GILMORE GIRLS: "If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now."
• "Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor."
• "I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life."
• About playing a 32 year old: "I'm so glad that I don't have to lie about my age anymore"
• "Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret."
• "Perspective is the most important thing to have in life."
• "Belly buttons are cool".

• Family Television Awards: Actress, Gilmore Girls (2001)
