I don't get rattled about the big things. I get rattled when I have to pick up my laundry, get gas in the car, pick up a script.
I had my electricity turned off three times because I never had time to pay my bills. It was a joke. I'm making a ton of money, and I'm walking around my apartment with flashlights.
I had to have a 100 percent belief in myself to leave ER. But I still don't know why it all has to be so strange to people.
I love going to the set every day, because Noah Wylie will be there waiting.
I love having no sense of tomorrow or yesterday.
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.
I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.
I'm incredibly happy to be doing my own thing in New York.
It took a long time to get out of my contract. The producers thought I was negotiating for more money.
It took the producers a while to realize I wanted a full-bodied life. I wanted to get out before I felt I'd sacrificed so much to get somewhere that I couldn't afford to leave.
My character is not a surgeon, thank God. I would fall apart if I had to sit and watch someone being cut open to prepare for the role.

People can get certain good things out of fame, but until it killed a princess nobody ever talked about how bad it can be.
Physics has the cutest words.
The lines are the last thing I have to worry about. When we film those scenes, we go through several rooms at once, without the camera stopping.
There were a couple of episodes where people did scenes with IVs in their arms. They'd have the bag inside their lab coat.
There's only so much you can do with an attorney on a show that's about New York policemen.
They understood why I left ER. It wasn't just about a guy.
When you walk away from a really wonderful job like that, you start messing with everyone's priorities. It's like you're dissing them.
You can't mess up. If you do, everyone wants to kill you.
