I can't believe this, I'm arguing with a woman!

Well, I'm not a critic, I'm just a worker. So, I'm always grateful for anything the critics say - good or bad.

During 'Chicago Hope,' I never let directors talk to me, because I was so spoiled. I started off with people like Milos Forman, Sidney Lumet, James Lapine, unbelievably gifted people. So there I was saying, 'Don't talk to me, I don't want your opinion.' I behaved abominably.

No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.

I have no idea what's coming next or where it will come from; I enjoy the surprise of it all.

I believe there's a common ground in what all gifted writers write. It has to do with their wish to turn darkness into light.

My inner motivation is to make the world a better place; the bad guy and the good guy think the same thing.
