I'm active in PAX, which is a gun awareness organization. We treat gun safety as a public health issue.

Everyone's entitled to their own experience.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

Everything I experience influences everything I do.

My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.

Everything I am came from my parents. I don't take that much credit for who I am and what I am.

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.
