I'm a homebody at heart, and I love to be around my dogs.
— Louise Linton
I'm a no-makeup girl.
It was so strange because I thought Washington was going to be so grown-up, and everyone was going to be so nice. Then people were saying to me, 'Watch your back in D.C.' Why? Really? I have to watch my back in D.C?
I am a natural blonde, but not this blonde.
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.
People don't want to read about my work with the homeless or the time and money I pour into animal rescue and organizations that fight poaching.
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.
I'm adventurous; I like change.
Charity fundraising galas have always been a wonderful way to support a myriad of causes.
It's the life of an actor to always be questioning, always be wondering. There is no occupation in the world less dependable.
I love my husband, and I wanted to support him, but the transition to Washington has been my hardest experience. I felt very lonely and isolated.
I love how easy pearls are to wear with anything and everything.
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.
I have been very lucky from the moment I went to my first audition, which was for 'CSI: New York,' and I got it.
What is frustrating is to have others question my motivation, my ethics, and my history.
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.
You should measure me by my actions, the friends I keep, and the charities I support, not by the politics of my husband.
I'm a person who tries to be compassionate, caring, and warm to every single person I meet.
I hope my actions speak more for me in the future than my hashtags!
I'm not some ditzy moron who has no idea how to deal with a diplomat as if they're some exotic animal.
Americans girls always ask me where I get my clothes, and I say, 'Ha, you can't get this over here.'
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!
I like the brand Fage, and usually go for the two percent because it tastes so good!
Ivanka is the most amazing mother. I go over there and bring one of my dogs for the kids to play with. We're just two young women making our way in the world. We sit there in sweatpants and have a glass of wine.
It so saddens me that people don't give other people the benefit of the doubt in the way they'd want to be given it.
I've wanted to be an actor since I was six, and I'm going to be an actor until I'm 66.
If you don't see culture in Los Angeles, you're simply not looking.
Don't think that you can go to Washington and dress as an individual. If you want to avoid criticism, you need to be a twin-set-sweater-and-pearls type of girl.
You never really own a diamond. You just get to keep it for a while before it begins a new journey with someone else.
I'd love to work with Gerry Butler, Alan Cummings, and Ewan McGregor. It'd be amazing if we could do a Scottish Hollywood movie.
I don't think I'm that recognizable.
As a result of my husband's position, there is newfound media attention to my every move. I did not imagine this level of scrutiny, but I understand it is now part of my life.
All of my besties are gay.
You can't just, boopity-boop, saunter into the Treasury. You need an appointment.
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.
Whether I'm in a ball gown or a pair of jeans, it's not about me or what I'm wearing; it's about what I can be doing to support and empower others going forward.
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.'
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.
I've been very transparent with reporters, but they only want to print mean stuff.
One of my favorite breakfasts is Greek yogurt with fresh fruit.
Maybe I'll create a guidebook for future political spouses: the dos and don'ts in D.C.
I don't really believe in torpedoing someone's career when they've been absolved of doing something.
Watching great performances can transport us, and finding a film that really moves you is a galvanising and inspiring thing.
I'm a filmmaker. I'm not a politician.
When I look at Deco jewelry, I see the New York skyline - the Chrysler Building.
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.
'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.
I'm not much of a party girl.
Cabinet spouses are not allowed to lobby other Cabinet members. It's against the rules.
I respect that my husband makes decisions he feels are sensible and intelligent... It's not my place to give him political advice.
