Before I could talk, I would try to sing.

One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.

People who have no idea it's me when they first see me playing something, and later they realize, 'That's her from whatever it is,' it's a great compliment that they can forget.

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

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.

I think some of the most important things we read about other people occurs from being able to read their faces and their eyes and their body and those kinds of things.
