I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

Less than 1 percent of the patients treated are alive at the end of five years.

I've had a good life. Enough happiness, enough success.

Every script I've written and every series I've produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful.
