I kind of pride myself on coming onto things that are well-oiled machines and finding a way to bring what I bring and fit in, and raise it to another level if I can. And this [Code Black ] has been another one of those really fun success stories, much like Parks And Recreation, although obviously on the other side of the comedy/drama equation.

I enjoy experiencing life. Being a celebrity can really stand in the way of that.

Ridley Scott's company makes great work in whatever arena, whether it's movies or commercials or television. They just do really quality stuff, so you know it's going to be quality.

The West Wing and The Outsiders are the gifts that keep on giving.

Your interests change. I used to feel that if I spent evenings reading, or watching a film, or just doing nothing up here at the house, I would probably be missing something that was a lot more fun. I don't have that sense anymore.

There is good and evil in each of us, and you can easily be led to the dark side.

It's always a good day when I get to work with Jim Belushi, who I adore.
