The only other job that I've ever had that provided that time in the morning, where you're going to work and you can't wait to get there, and the sun's rising, and you are moving towards something you look forward to, was getting up and doing every day, was being a carpenter.

Some people say it's scarier to direct the people you work with; not me, I'm a team guy.

I like this job - most days I have a chance to make breakfast and take the kids to school or to read 'em a bedtime story. It's almost like a normal life.

It's a lot easier to do good work when you have good words to say and work with good people.

At Chicago Hope they have a technical staff that works real hard to make that O.R. as realistic as possible.

When I got divorced and moved into an apartment, I started keeping the TV on, just for company.
