My character is not a surgeon, thank God. I would fall apart if I had to sit and watch someone being cut open to prepare for the role.
I am extremely grateful for the time I spent on ER, ... It is a wonderful show, and there are so many people I will miss. But I'm ready for new roles and new challenges.
When you walk away from a really wonderful job like that, you start messing with everyone's priorities. It's like you're dissing them.
They understood why I left ER. It wasn't just about a guy.
It took the producers a while to realize I wanted a full-bodied life. I wanted to get out before I felt I'd sacrificed so much to get somewhere that I couldn't afford to leave.
I had my electricity turned off three times because I never had time to pay my bills. It was a joke. I'm making a ton of money, and I'm walking around my apartment with flashlights.
I love going to the set every day, because Noah Wylie will be there waiting.
I love having no sense of tomorrow or yesterday.
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
I'm incredibly happy to be doing my own thing in New York.
I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.
I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.
I don't get rattled about the big things. I get rattled when I have to pick up my laundry, get gas in the car, pick up a script.
It's amazing how everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life.
