I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.

You know, you never say never because before I did 'ER,' I always said 'I'll never do a TV series,' so that's what I said.

I never dreamed about being on a hit television series. I've never really related my dreams to that specific of a work goal. I was always enjoying the moment. Acting, writing, looking for roles and getting involved with people and trying to create something that would be entertaining to people. With "E.R." we were all very lucky to get this combination of people together in the right story in the right way to take it to the level it has reached.

Knock wood, but I started acting professionally when I was 16, and I've always been able to support myself since then.

My family had all kinds of complications in relationships. I would like to meet the person who did not. Since when is being absolutely perfect what being a human is? What do we gain from that?

'ER' was so huge that whatever I did coming back to television, I'd have to feel as strongly about.
