Yes, I'm very close to my family. And being that close to your family, I think you also struggle with how to become your own person.

You can be a woman in charge of a production and still be generous and kind and insightful and decisive without being considered a butch in any way.

The one thing about being on 'ER' that has changed is that I'm more easily recognizable.

After I finished 'E.R.', I wanted to concentrate on re-examining what kind of actress I am and taking time for real-life things.

I had a really scary pregnancy and a very difficult delivery. My daughter and I are lucky to be alive.

I think you have to have a little bit of a screw loose to think that you can [become an actor] because the odds are so against you. I was just crazy enough to think I could do it.

We hurt each other because we care about each other.
