Miller was a child model, appearing in an ad for Wonder Bread at the age of six months, and at age three for an Ivory soap and a cover of Redbook magazine, alongside her mother and her brother. Her modeling career was put on hold briefly when she was ten while she was treated for a benign bone tumor, but after she was pronounced healthy, it wasn’t long before she went back to modeling.

Christa Miller Lawrence Quotes |

Christa: (On what sticks in her mind about the first season of Scrubs) That my hair - it looks way too dark - and it looks much better blonde. So that would be my main thing.
| Christa Miller: (On Scrubs' nomination for an Emmy in 2006) If we don't win, we're going to be bitter and angry and walk out in a big huff.
| Christa: (On Charlotte and William being for the third child) They're kind of ready. They think it'll be fun. But I think once it comes home it won't be as fun as they thought.
| Christa: (On being pregnant while filming Scrubs) They wrote it into the show because you can't hide it. Then you just look like moon-face weirdo on the show. So they wrote it in so I'm comfortable. But still, at some point you're too fat to be on TV.
| Christa: (On her network test for ABC) I'd just done and episode of Seinfeld and when I went to do the network test at ABC, I think they were nervous that I was a little too green. So I thought, "Let me see if I can get this Seinfeld tape.
| Christa: (On her getting the role of Kate O'Brien) I went from the first audition to three more rehersals to the network test in the same outfit, which was brown boots, brown corderoys and a pink t-shirt. Actors get superstitious about, um, you go in for a meeting and if they call you back, you feel like part of it's the outfit. The prodcers must've been really tired of seeing that outfit. I just found that outfit and stuck with it.
| Christa: When you're doing a pilot it's very nerve-wracking and everyone is trying to, you know, they want it to be picked up.
| Christa: (On the first season of The Drew Carey Show) It was fun doing that show and the first year was exciting and new.
| Christa Miller-Lawrence: Keep in mind that my husband writes Jordan’s lines. Every time I say something stupid, he puts it in the script.
| Christa: We had a big fight over the episode where my character comes back pregnant and tries to seduce her ex-husband, Dr. Cox [John C. McGinley]. Bill had written one scene where the camera would shoot my butt. I called him and said, 'You are not shooting my pregnant butt on television.' He said, 'Oh, yes, I am.' He told me that any actress would do that scene, so Heather Locklear, who was guest-starring in the episode, got on the phone and said, 'I wouldn’t do it. You wouldn’t shoot my pregnant butt.'
