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.

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.

Before I could talk, I would try to sing.

I enjoy playing characters where I get to sort of change my look, my voice. It's not about what she wears, it's about what she's got inside.

When I was a kid, 'Scooby Doo' was, hands down, my favorite cartoon. Even when I was older, when I was in college studying and I needed to tune out for a while, I'd watch 'Scooby Doo.

We hurt each other because we care about each other.

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