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.

Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

My dream has come true, now that I have passed it on.

I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.

The time it takes to get something done is the time it takes.

In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.
