L.A. is uninhibited: You're encouraged to express yourself, wear what you want, do what you want, and to speak from a very emotionally honest place. D.C. is different. In Washington, you have to be much more careful about what you say and do. Especially about what you wear!

Louise Linton

I love how easy pearls are to wear with anything and everything.

Louise Linton

I'm a homebody at heart, and I love to be around my dogs.

Louise Linton

I have the high honor of being the only person who has been compared to Marie Antoinette, Darth Vader, and Cruella de Vil at once.

Louise Linton

I have been very lucky from the moment I went to my first audition, which was for 'CSI: New York,' and I got it.

Louise Linton

I love the emotional symbolism of the eternity band as a wedding band. It's like wearing the infinity sign on your finger and represents the cyclical and enduring aspect of love.

Louise Linton

When I went to D.C., I thought I would have an incredible platform to help animals. But I realized very quickly that there were huge limits to what I could do.

Louise Linton

'CSI' was an amazing experience, which, looking back, I was very lucky to get. They shoot an entire episode in eight days, so everything has to be totally slick and professional.

Louise Linton

I'm adventurous; I like change.

Louise Linton

What is frustrating is to have others question my motivation, my ethics, and my history.

Louise Linton

I'm a person who tries to be compassionate, caring, and warm to every single person I meet.

Louise Linton

I befriended a homeless man five years ago, bought him a new set of teeth, helped him get his life on track. A writer for 'Elle' spent two hours talking to this guy and discarded almost everything he said. When the story came out, we both were weeping while reading it on the street!

Louise Linton

You might see Al Pacino at the grocers, but you would never go up to him and say, 'Oh my God, you're Al Pacino.'

Louise Linton

My husband is very fortunate to be part of the government. It is a great honor and privilege, and in no way is his work, or my part in this, any kind of sacrifice.

Louise Linton

Mistakes happen, and we must choose what to do with them. We can ignore them, or we can learn and evolve into someone better and wiser.

Louise Linton

You can seek out a lot of publicity if you want, depending on your choices. A lot of major celebrities don't have paparazzi following them.

Louise Linton

I played Simone, the French tutor for the daughter of a rich Manhattan couple, who goes to a costume ball as Marie Antoinette. While everyone else in 'CSI' races around in police gear, I had to wear a ballgown and bustle and two wigs. It was very heavy on the make-up side.

Louise Linton

I wear SoulCycle stuff every single day of my life.

Louise Linton

I think after being kicked and slapped on social media a billion times, I had this one time. This lady said I was a deplorable human being, and that hurt.

Louise Linton

I look at amazing fashion icons like Jackie O, and I'm like, Why can't I wear gloves?

Louise Linton

I like to try everything, taste everything.
