You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.

In society, we have these unspoken rules of conduct, these 'shoulds.' Even though we pride ourselves on being a democracy, there are all these ways we say you 'should' behave. But what if you're living your life by the 'shoulds' and you're not really living your life?

People are so phobic and crazed about this word 'commitment.' It's weird. Everyone has taken this word to a new height of morality.

I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.

By my third year of Law and Order, I was climbing the walls. But you don't leave a hit show, especially when you have a five-year contract.

I never wanted to be the lead on a TV drama. It just robs you of your life, really.

New York is all about sort of a corporate sensibility, and it is squeezed out room for any other kind of sensibility, money talks, bullshit walks, I guess.
