I recurred on Grey’s Anatomy for three years, and at the same time, I recurred for eight episodes on Rescue Me. And I’d recurred for nine episodes on The Practice. Frankly, the guest star is often the most compelling character.

I have a tendency as an actress in general to ground my characters. Even when doing outlandish characters, that's my instinct.

I have literally played the most interesting parts since I turned 40.

It ultimately becomes an asset to be part of a theatrical family if, indeed, you're good at what you do.

For me, hour-long drama was always the thing I felt the most comfortable doing, and I've played so many dramatic roles in the theater.
